Of those found alive it may be asked whether they will rise, since they have not fallen.Christ is judge of living and dead; the Apostle at 1 Cor. 15:51 and 1 Thess. 4 — by a shortcut of death through change, the living will not die but be stripped of mortality.Augustine Retractations 2.33: Either they will not die, or they will not feel death.Both expositions stand.Next, will the impious also rise?Besides recent Jews and Socinians, Scripture on the judge of living and dead, eternal fire, and the worm that dies not must be opposed.Resurrection is sometimes taken strictly for that unto blessed life.
Latin
De iis qui vivi offenduntur quaeri potest an sint resurrecturi, cum non ceciderint. Christus judex vivorum & mortuorum; Apostolus 1 Cor. 15.51 & 1 Thess. 4 — per demutationem mortis compendio, vivi non morituri sed mortalitate exuendi. Augustinus Retract. 2.33: Aut non morientur, aut mortem non sentient. Utraque expositio consistit. Deinde an etiam impii sint resurrecturi? Praeter recentiores Judaeos & Socinianos, opponi debent scripturae de judice vivorum & mortuorum, igne aeterno, verme qui non moritur. Resurrectio interdum stricte pro ea ad vitam beatam sumitur.
