Ephesians 1:14
Douay-Rheims
Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
Tertullian
What shall we say then? Has not the flesh even now (in this life) the spirit by faith? so that the question still remains to be asked, how it is that the animate (or natural) body can be said to be sown? Surely the flesh has received even here the spirit-but only its "earnest; " whereas of the soul (it has received) not the earnest, but the full possession.
