Those of the resurrection will be as angels—without flesh
…to declare the Lord, as when the Sadducees tempt him: "those who attain the resurrection will then be as angels." He adds: "Angels stand outside flesh in the height of blessedness, and for that reason they also have glory; so we who are to be made equal to angels must likewise be without flesh as they are."
Greek
ἀποφήνασθαι τὸν Κύριον, ὡς «οἱ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τευξόμενοι ἔσονται τότε ὡς ἄγγελοι,» ἔνθα πειράζουσιν αὐτὸν οἱ Σαδδουκαῖοι, ἐπέφερεν· «Οἱ δὲ ἄγγελοι ἐκτὸς ὄντες σαρκὸς ἐν μακαριότητος ἀκρότητι, διὰ τοῦτο καὶ δόξης εἰσί· καὶ ἡμᾶς δὲ ἄρα ἐξισάζεσθαι μέλλοντας ἀγγέλοις ἀνάγκη δὴ σαρκῶν ὡσαύτως ἐκείνοις γυμνοὺς ἔσεσθαι δεῖν.»
