Paragraph:

1006 "It is in regard to death that man's condition is most shrouded in doubt." ⁵⁶⁷ In a sense bodily death is natural, but for faith it is in fact "the wages of sin." ⁵⁶⁸ For those who die in Christ's grace it is a participation in the death of the Lord, so that they can also share his Resurrection. ⁵⁶⁹
