Jerome, on 1Cor 15:50
Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
1Cor 15:50 · Douay-Rheims
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.”
On this verse:
“Let us by no means scorn the flesh, but let us reject its works. Let us not despise the body that will reign in heaven with Christ. "Flesh and blood can obtain no part in the kingdom of God." This does not refer to flesh and blood as such but to the works of the flesh.”
