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 8
1. There are some, however, who in the course of their investigation, wish to understand if one who is saved, when discarding the body, will be saved immediately.
2. Let none doubt concerning this. [...]
3. in fact, the visible limbs that are dead ⟦page 48⟧ shall not be saved, for (in that case) the living [limbs] that exist in them would rise.
4. Then, what is the resurrection? It is the continuing revelation of those who have risen.
5. Because if you recall reading in the gospel that Elijah appeared, and Moses with him, do not think of the resurrection as an illusion.
6. It is no illusion; instead it is a reality!
7. In fact, it would be more accurate to say the world is an illusion than (to say) the resurrection which has come to pass through our Lord, the Savior, Jesus Christ (is an illusion).
