And let none of you say that this flesh is not judged or raised again.

Consider this: in what were you saved, and in what did you receive your sight, if not while you were in this flesh?

Therefore we must guard the flesh as a temple of God.

For just as you were called in the flesh, you will also come in the flesh.

If Christ, the Lord who saved us, was at first spirit, became flesh, and in this way called us, then in the same way we too will receive our reward in this flesh.

So let us love one another, so that we may all enter the kingdom of God.

While we still have time to be healed, let us give ourselves to God, who heals us, giving Him His recompense.

What recompense? To repent with a sincere heart.

For He knows all things beforehand and knows what is in our hearts.

Therefore let us give Him praise, not only from our mouth but also from our heart, so that He may receive us as sons.

For the Lord said, “My brothers are those who do the will of My Father.”
