ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 15 v42

WHAT IS RAISED IS IMPERISHABLE. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: Just as the rational soul is not good or bad in itself but is capable of becoming either of these, so our body is neither perishable nor imperishable by nature but acquires these immanent, essential qualities in due course. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.

WHETHER BELIEVERS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH SIN. AUGUSTINE: In due time I yielded to better and more enlightened minds, or rather, to truth itself, as I heard in the words of the apostle the groaning of the saints in their battle against carnal concupiscence. Although the saints are spiritually minded, they are still carnal in the corruptible body which remains a weight upon the soul. They will, however, be spiritual also in body when the body sown animal will rise spiritual. They are still prisoners under the wall of sin, in as much as they are subject to stimulation by desires to which they do not consent. Thus I came to understand this matter as did Hilary, Gregory, Ambrose, and other holy and renowned teachers of the church, who saw that the apostle, by his own words, fought strenuously the same battle against carnal concupiscences he did not wish to have yet in fact did have. AGAINST JULIAN 70.
