Söz'ün Bedenlenmesi Üzerine: Ölümsüzlük Giysisi

For being above all, the Word of God naturally satisfied the debt by His death, offering His own temple and bodily instrument for the life of all. Thus, He, the incorruptible Son of God, being joined to all by a shared nature, naturally clothed everyone with incorruption through the promise of the resurrection. For the actual corruption of death no longer has a hold on men, because the Word has come to dwell among them in His one body. And just as when a great king enters a large city and takes up residence in one of its houses, that city is certainly held worthy of high honor, and no enemy or bandit dares to attack it or subject it; on the contrary, it is entitled to every care because the king has taken up residence in that single house. It has been the same with the Monarch of all. For now that He has come to our realm and taken up residence in one body among His peers, the whole conspiracy of the enemy against mankind is checked, and the corruption of death, which previously prevailed against them, is done away with.
