Sahu (sꜣḥ)

Spiritual body

Sahu — the spiritualised body that comes into being once the deceased is justified before Osiris. It is the form in which the deceased moves through the realms of the dead and meets the gods face to face. Where khat is the corruptible body, sahu is its incorruptible counterpart, available only after successful judgement. Budge translates sahu as 'spiritual body' and connects it explicitly to the New Testament's σῶμα πνευματικόν of 1 Corinthians 15:44; this is a Victorian comparison, not an attested ancient identification, but the morphological parallel is real.
