...he who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will n...ot be wiped away. For jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and he shows no restraint when he takes revenge.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it... is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
