The hope of a new body

() And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,Death entered this world with sin () And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”Death is the wages earned for sin () For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Death comes quicker than we desire () Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.

For what is your life?

It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

“Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble.

He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.

So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish
