Not that we would be unclothed, but clothed,
that mortality might be swallowed up in life . . .
We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption;
not the flesh, but death.
The body is one thing, death another . . .
What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.
De resurrectione mortuorum 256-274 (4th century)
