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
Because of the necessary activities of this life, health is not to be despised until "this mortal shall put on immortality." This is the true and perfect and unending health which is not refreshed by corruptible pleasure when it fails through earthly weakness but is maintained by heavenly strength and made young by eternal incorruptibility.
