First Epistle to the Corinthians

St Clement of Rome, Lake, Loeb 1912

Chapter 26

The resurrection promised in the Scriptures

Do we then consider it a great and wonderful thing that the creator of the universe will bring about the resurrection of those who served him in holiness, in the confidence of a good faith, when he shows us the greatness of his promise even through a bird?

For he says in one place “And thou shalt raise me up, and I will praise thee,” and “I laid me down and slept, I rose up, for thou art with me.”

And again Job says “And thou shalt raise up this my flesh which has endured all these things.”
