On the Incarnation

The Word perceived that corruption could not be got rid of otherwise than through death; yet he himself, as the Word, being immortal and the Father's Son, could not die. For this reason he takes to himself a body capable of death.#

“He, indeed, assumed humanity that we might become God.”#

He manifested himself by means of a body in order that we might perceive the mind of the unseen Father; and he endured the insolence of men that we might inherit immortality. For he was made man that we might be made God.#
