From the Discourse of Hippolytus, Bishop of Rome, on the
Resurrection and Incorruption.
Men, he says, “in the resurrection will be
like the angels of God,”1839
to wit, in incorruption, and
immortality, and incapacity of loss.1840
For the incorruptible nature is not
the subject of generation;1841
it grows not, sleeps not, hungers not,
thirsts not, is not wearied, suffers not, dies not, is not pierced by
nails and spear, sweats not, drops not with blood. Of such kind
are the natures of the angels and of souls released from the
body. For both these are of another kind, and different from
these creatures of our world, which are visible and
perishing.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
