Cyril of Jerusalem, on 1Cor 15:25

Cyril of Jerusalem · A.D. 313–386
1Cor 15:25 · Douay-Rheims
“For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.”
On this verse:
“This body shall be raised but not in its present weakness. It shall be raised the very same body, but by putting aside corruption it shall be transformed, just as iron becomes fire when combined with fire, as the Lord who raises us knows. This body therefore shall rise, but it will not abide in its present condition, but as an eternal body. No longer will it, as now, need nourishment for life nor stairs for its ascent. It will become spiritual, a marvelous thing, beggaring description.”
