this corruption does not put on incorruption —

of those from the days of Adam down to the resurrection of Christ.

at the resurrection of Christ, and his ascension into heaven.

But behold, I will explain it unto thee.

Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration,

that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness.

Behold, I say unto you,

wickedness never was happiness.
