1 Corinthians 15:54
Douay-Rheims
And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
Augustine of Hippo
There are many desires of the sick which health takes away. In just the same way as physical health undercuts those desires, so immortality does remove all other desires because immortality is our health.
