Christ
True assumption of human life.
There is one Physician: flesh and spirit, born and unborn, God in man, true life in death, from Mary and from God, first able to suffer and then beyond suffering, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Εἰώθασιν γάρ τινες δόλῳ πονηρῷ τὸ ὄνομα περιφέρειν, ἄλλα τινὰ πράσσοντες ἀνάξια θεοῦ: οὕς δεῖ ὑμᾶς ὡς θηρία ἐκκλίνειν: εἰσὶν γὰρ κύνες λυσσῶντες, λαθροδῆκται: οὓς δεῖ ὑμᾶς φυλάσσεσθαι ὄντας δυσθεραπεύτους.
Go deaf, then, when anyone speaks to you apart from Jesus Christ, of David's line, of Mary, who was truly born, who ate and drank, was truly hounded under Pontius Pilate, was truly crucified and died, while those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth looked on (Philippians 2:10);
Κωφώθητε οὖν, ὅταν ὑμῖν χωρὶς Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ λαλῇ τις, τοῦ ἐκ γένους Δαυείδ, τοῦ ἐκ Μαρίας, ὃς ἀληθῶς ἐγεννήθη, ἔφαγέν τε καὶ ἔπιεν, ἀληθῶς ἐδιώχθη ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτον, ἀληθῶς ἐσταυρώθη καὶ ἀπέθανεν, βλεπόντων τῶν ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ ὑποχθονίων.
The Lord endured the surrender of his flesh to corruption for this very purpose: that through the forgiveness of sins we might be cleansed — a cleansing that comes through the blood of his sprinkling (Isaiah 53:5).
Εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ὑπέμεινεν ὁ κύριος παραδοῦναι τὴν σάρκα εἰς καταφθοράν, ἵνα τῇ ἀφέσει τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἁγνισθῶμεν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ῥαντίσματος αὐτοῦ.
We also declare that the Word, who is the firstborn of God, was begotten without intercourse. Our teacher, Jesus Christ, was crucified, died, rose again, and ascended into heaven. In this we bring nothing new compared to what you say about the sons of Zeus.
Τᾷ δὲ καὶ τὸν λόγον, ὅ ἐστι πρῶτον γέννημα τοῖ θεοῦ, ἄνευ ἐπιμιξίας φάσκειν ἡμᾶς γεγεννῆσθαι, Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν τὸν διδάσκαλον ἡμῶν, καὶ τοῦτον σταυρωθέντα καὶ ἀποθανόντα καὶ ἀναστάντα ἀνεληλυθέναι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, οὐ παρὰ τοὺς παρ᾿ ὑμῖν λεγομένους υἱοὺς τῷ Διῒ καινόν τι φέρομεν.
This is no earthly discovery, as I said; it was not given to them to guard mortal ideas with such care, nor were they entrusted with a human administration of mysteries.
Οὐ γὰρ ἐπιγειον, ὡς ἔφην, εὕρημα τοῦτ̓ αὐτοῖς παρεδόθη, οὐδὲ θνητὴν ἐπίνοιαν φυλάσσειν οὕτως ἀξιοῦσιν ἐπιμελῶς, οὐδὲ ἀνθρωπίνων οἰκονομίαν μυστηρίων πεπίστευνται.
