1 Do we then consider it a great and wonderful thing that the creator of the universe will bring about the resurrection of those who served Him in holiness, in the confidence of a good faith, when He shows us the greatness of His promise even through a bird?

2 For He says in one place "And Thou shalt raise me up, and I will praise Thee," and "I laid me down and slept, I rose up, for Thou art with me."

3 And again Job says "And Thou shalt raise up this my flesh which has endured all these things."
