[4] Οὐ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἡ αὐτὴ σάρξ, ἀλλὰ ἄλλη μὲν ἀνθρώπων, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ κτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ σὰρξ πτηνῶν, ἄλλη δὲ ἰχθύων is the Greek of 1 Corinthians 15:39
[5] Itself—in the Abrahamic traditions—destabilized by the tension between cherub and seraph and their interior drives (intellection versus passion). Neither of these are the winged wheels of fire Ezekiel saw, which themselves exist in a tradition schematizing the angels along a decadic system (itself symbolic)—though comparative analysis of applications of hierarchical orders predicated on perceived socially contributive values (e.g. a fantastical caste) should be analyzed for their negative contributions to identity and sectarianism.
