1 Corinthians 15:48 Douay-Rheims

Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

If you do not like the Christian faith, say so. But you will not find another Christian faith. There is one man unto life; there is one unto death. The one is only man; the other is God and man. Through the one the world was made the enemy of God. Through the other those chosen from the world are reconciled to God. For "As in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." Therefore even as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us also bear the image of the heavenly. Whoever tries to undermine these foundations of the Christian faith will himself be destroyed, but they will remain firm.
