For just as the Father awakens the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
»I am the Resurrection and the Life,« said Jesus; »he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages.
It is the spirit which gives Life. The flesh confers no benefit whatever. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are Life.
Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life?
And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
In the same way also it is written, »The first man Adam became a living animal«; the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit.
