The Risen Bodies of the Damned

The bodies of all men will rise in natural perfectionwithout deficiency or defect. But the bodies of the damned willlack the qualities of the glorified bodies: agility, clarity,subtlety, impassibility.

The bodies of the damned will not be corruptible.Scripture says (Apoc. 9:6): “Men shall seek death and shallnot find it, and they shall desire to die and death shall fly fromthem.”

As noted, the bodies of the damned will be passible,that is, capable of enduring suffering. Retribution must come toman, body and soul. And punishment of body involvespassibility.
