The regulation of the flesh as proof of the resurrection of the flesh

Theophanes the Cretan

"if our physician Christ, God, having rescued us from our desires [(ἐπιθυμιῶν)], regulates our flesh [(σάρκα)] with His own wise and temperate rule, it is evident that He guards it from sins [(ἁμαρτημιάτων)] because it possesses a hope of salvation [(ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας)]."
