God did not create mere spirits for this cor****eal world but bodies—which
he has called his “image.” Only through shattering travail can such a body
come to be. And every person sees and experiences for himself that death
is
a judgment that makes him anxious even when he wants to be strong and
convince himself that he can die tranquilly and be a spirit.
