1 Corinthians 15:53 Douay-Rheims

For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

To us continence has been pointed out by the Lord of salvation as an instrument for attaining eternity, and as a testimony of (our) faith; as a commendation of this flesh of ours, which is to be sustained for the "garment of immortality," which is one day to supervene; for enduring, in fine, the will of God.
