2Co 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
Keep reading since we know there are no chapters and verses in Pauls letter. He continues the thought above, below.
2 Corinthians 4:1-18
:God in his mercy has given us this work to do, and so we do not become discouraged. 2 We put aside all secret and shameful deeds; we do not act with deceit, nor do we falsify the word of God. In the full light of truth we live in God's sight and try to commend ourselves to everyone's good conscience. 3;For if the gospel we preach is hidden, it is hidden only from those who are being lost. 4;They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
5;For it is not ourselves that we preach; we preach Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6;The God who said, “Out of darkness the light shall shine!” is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ.
7;Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us. 8 We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; 9 there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. 10 At all times we carry in our mortal bodies the death of Jesus, so that his life also may be seen in our bodies. 11Throughout our lives we are always in danger of death for Jesus' sake, in order that his life may be seen in this mortal body of ours. 12;This means that death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13;The scripture says, “I spoke because I believed.” In the same spirit of faith we also speak because we believe. 14;We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus to life, will also raise us up with Jesus and take us, together with you, into his presence. 15 All this is for your sake; and as God's grace reaches more and more people, they will offer to the glory of God more prayers of thanksgiving.
16;For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. 17;And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. 18;For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
For we know that when
this tent we live in—
our body here on earth—is torn down, God will have
a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever. 2;And now we sigh, so great is our desire that our home which comes from heaven should be put on over us; 3;by being clothed with it
we shall not be without a body. 4;While we live in this
earthly tent, we groan with a feeling of oppression; it is not that we want to get rid of our
earthly body, but that we want to have
the heavenly one put on over us, so that what is mortal will be transformed by life. 5;God is the one who has prepared us for this change, and he gave us his Spirit as the guarantee of all that he has in store for us.
6;So we are always full of courage. We know that as long as we are at
home in the body we are away from the Lord's home. 7;For our life is a matter of faith, not of sight. 8;We are full of courage and would much prefer to leave our home in the body and be at home with the Lord. 9;More than anything else, however, we want to please him, whether in our home here or there. 10;For all of us must appear before Christ, to be judged by him. We will each receive what we deserve, according to everything we have done, good or bad, in our bodily life.
conclusion: Once again Scripture supports what I have said in this thread about The bodily Resurrection of Jesus and the saints, not you.
hope this helps !!!
