Origen, on Gen 1:10

“And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.”

“The dry land, after the water was removed from it, did not continue further as "dry land" but was named "earth" by God. In this manner also our bodies, if this separation from them takes place, will no longer remain "dry land." They will, on the contrary, be called "earth" because they can now bear fruit for God.”
