Resurrection and life everlasting

The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,

"Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God,
