As God lives, in whose presence my soul stands, our God promises his mercy to the sinner, saying: “In that hour that the sinner shall lament his sin, by myself, I will not remember his iniquities for ever.” Now what should eat the meats of paradise, if the body go not thither? The soul? Surely not, seeing it is spirit.” Peter ;answered: “So then, the blessed shall eat in paradise;; but how shall the meat be voided without uncleanness?”
Jesus answered: “Now what blessedness shall the body have if it eat not nor drink? Assuredly it is fitting to give glory in proportion to the thing glorified. But you err, Peter, in thinking that such meat should be voided in uncleanness, because this body at the present time eats corruptible meats, and thus it is that putrefaction comes forth: but in paradise the body shall be incorruptible, impassible, and immortal, and free from every misery; and the meats, which are without any defect, shall not generate any putrefaction.
