“Believers, be it known, however, that your bodies, in which you must now suffer
so much, will one day be delivered from all sorrows.

The Lord will then wipe all tears from your eyes and will change this vile body 
so that it may be conformed to the glorious body of Christ.

Then your body will shine forth as the stars, and as the brightness of the firmament.

Your eyes will rejoice in beholding your beloved Jesus and all those glorious things
which are to be seen in heaven.

Your ears will delight themselves in hearing the heavenly hallelujahs, and you will
join them in singing the heavenly doxologies.

All that God has prepared to the delight of your body, the Lord will cause you to
enjoy forever.”
