12:1
Ibi diversi quidern sexus corpora, sed sine ulla eoncupiscentia corporali futura sunt. Iui erit omnium perfecta caritas, et nulla cupiditas (Aug. de Civit. Dei lib. XXII, cap. 17). Ibi etiam corporales oculos nihil visibilis creaturæ latebit, quia incorruptibilium corporum visus uti que incorruptibilis erit; et ita sine comparatione vivacior quam hic fuit, ut ei aliquid visibilium clausum esse non possit. Corporibus quippe immortalitate donatis auferenda esi tarditas, non integritas; necessitas, non voluntas, ut ibi sine temporis [alias temporum] mora aut impedimento ponderis sint, ubi esse voluerint;
在那裡固然有不同性別的身體，卻必沒有任何肉身的私慾。在那裡必有眾人完全的愛，並沒有貪慾（奧古斯丁《神的城》第二十二卷十七章）。在那裡，肉身的眼睛也再沒有任何可見的受造之物向其隱藏，因為不朽身體的視力必然是不朽的；並且無可比擬地比在此世更為敏銳，以致沒有任何可見之物能向它關閉。因為從那已得不死之身體所要除去的，乃是遲鈍，而非完整；乃是必然性，而非意志，好叫他們在那裡能毫無時間的耽延或重量的攔阻，隨己意所要往之處而在；
There bodies indeed of different sexes, but without any bodily concupiscence, are to be. There will be perfect love of all, and no lust (Aug., On the City of God, Bk. 22, ch. 17). There too nothing of visible creation will lie hidden from the bodily eyes, because the sight of incorruptible bodies will assuredly be incorruptible; and thus beyond comparison more keen than it was here, so that nothing of visible things can be closed to it. For from bodies endowed with immortality slowness is to be taken away, not integrity; necessity, not will, so that there they may be, without delay of time or hindrance of weight, wherever they shall have willed to be;
12:2
atque eo sequatur sine ulla difficultate spirituale jam corpus, quocunque ire voluerit spiritus, angelieæ beatitudinis aequalitate perfectus. Tunc filiorum, parentum, conjugum miseria, qui ibi non fucrint, beatos conlristare non polerit (Aug. lib. i lietract. cap. 13 et 19): quia nomina omnium necessitudinum corporalium quæ hic nostra fragilitas habuit, excellentia illius beatitudinis non admittit: ubi omnes quicunque fuerint, unum corpus erunt, et singuli de sua vel de singulorum felicitate gaudebunt. Haec de contemplativa vita dicta sufficiant.
這樣，那如今已屬靈、藉著與天使福樂同等而得成全的身體，便可毫無艱難地隨那靈所要往之處而去。那時，不在那裡的兒女、父母、或配偶的悲慘，必不能使蒙福者憂愁（奧古斯丁《更正錄》第一卷十三及十九章）：因為那福樂超絕的卓越，不容納我們在此因軟弱所有一切肉身親屬的名稱：在那裡，凡是在那裡的人都要成為一個身體，各人都要為自己的或各人的福樂而歡喜。論到默觀生活，這些所說的就夠了。
and so the body, now spiritual, perfected by equality with angelic blessedness, may follow without any difficulty wherever the spirit shall have willed to go. Then the misery of children, parents, or spouses who are not there will not be able to sadden the blessed (Aug., Bk. 1 of Retractations, chs. 13 and 19): because the surpassing excellence of that blessedness does not admit the names of all the bodily kinships which our frailty had here: where all, whoever they shall be, will be one body, and each will rejoice in his own or in each one's happiness. Let these things said about the contemplative life suffice.
