About this reading layout
Source wording, punctuation, paragraph boundaries and supplied line breaks are retained. Long prose also has editorial reading breaks at sentence boundaries. Substantial passages already enclosed in double quotation marks are set apart; this does not identify their source or establish a connection.
These added breaks are reading aids, not claims about the original manuscript’s layout. Poetry is lineated only where the downloaded text supplies line breaks. References and edition notes remain with their text.
Chapter 4
1. Then, as the apostle in fact said, “We suffered with him, and we rose with him, and we ascended to heaven with him.”
2. Now if we visibly live in this world, we wear this world.
3. We are his radiant beams, and we continue with him until our setting, that is, our death in this life.
4. By him we are drawn to heaven, like beams by the sun, constrained by nothing.
5. This is the spiritual resurrection ⟦page 46⟧, swallowing up the soul just as it does the flesh.
