Summary: The flesh joined to the Spirit will share in indescribable life.

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:152

τοσαύτην δύναται ἡ σὰρξ αὕτη μεταλαβεῖν ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν κολληθέντος αὐτῇ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου, οὔτε ἐξειπεῖν τις δύναται οὔτε λαλῆσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασεν ὁ κύριος τοῖς ἐκλεκτοῖς αὐτοῦ.

English · Claude translation

So great a life and immortality this flesh is able to share in, when the Holy Spirit is joined to it, that no one can declare or speak “what the Lord has prepared” for his elect.
