 21   8    |                   27. This, then, was the situation: the whole
 22   8    |         angels who had sinned, it was paying the fully deserved
 23   9    |           his impious~company and was then with them prostrated,
 24   9    |       will? Of course not! For it was in the evil use~of his free
 25   9    |      attitude is what the apostle was reproving when he~said, "

 27  10    |                       33. Thus it was that the human race was
 28  10    |           was that the human race was bound in a just doom and
 29  10    |         sins with it - a~Mediator was required; that is to say,
 30  10    |         indeed true that the Word was made flesh, the flesh being
 31  10    |           that~assumption nothing was lacking that belongs to
 32  10    |           to human nature.~But it was a nature entirely free from
 33  10    |          the bonds of all sin. It was not a nature born of both~
 34  10    |         regeneration. Instead, it was the kind of nature that
 35  10    |         thus both God and man. He was God before all ages; he
 36  10    |        Word of God, for "the Word was God."~73 ~Yet he is man
 37  10    |         greater than he. Since he was God's only Son - not by
 38  10    |         fullness of all grace, he was also made Son of Man - and
 39  10    |           Son of Man - and yet he~was in the one nature as well
 40  10    |           violation to be what he was by nature, the equal of
 41  10    |           form of God.~75 Thus he was made less and~remained equal,
 42  10    |       Word; the other, because he was a man. As the Word, he is

 44  11    |         man before the union, and was this singular grace~given
 45  11    |      favor with God."~76 And this was said of her, that she was
 46  11    |         was said of her, that she was full of~grace, since she
 47  11    |          full of~grace, since she was to be mother of her Lord,
 48  11    |           When he said, "The Word was made flesh," this means, "
 49  11    |        Full of truth." Indeed it ~was Truth himself, God's only
 50  11    |        one and only Son our Lord, was born of the Holy Spirit~
 51  11    |       respect to his human nature was of the Holy Spirit, save

 54  12    |          as he is man, he himself was made, even as~the apostle
 55  12    |          as~the apostle says: "He was made of the seed of David

 64  13    |                      41. Since he was begotten and conceived in

 72  13    |         dying in the flesh, which was "the likeness~of sin." And
 73  13    |       integrity of the human mind was corrupted by the seduction
 74  13    |         since~the forbidden fruit was snatched; and avarice, since
 75  13    |       regeneration. This Covenant was foretold by~Ezekiel when
 76  13    |          absolved of~whatever sin was in him at the time of birth.

 78  13    |           lawful wedlock said, "I was~conceived in iniquities;
 79  13    |           into all men, and which was so great that human nature

 84  14    |       with water alone, as John's was, but with the Holy Spirit
 85  14    |       Spirit, of whom Christ also was born, needing ~not to be
 86  14    |        particular day on which he was~baptized, but to that "day"
 87  14    |      nothing to punish. Hence, it was in authentic justice, and
 88  14    |     violent power, that the~devil was overcome and conquered:
 89  14    |       most unjustly slain Him who was in no way~deserving of death,
 90  14    |     judgment on that one trespass was condemnation; but the gift
 91  14    |       into death; that,~as Christ was raised up from the dead
 92  14    |        likeness of sin" and which was, therefore, called by the
 93  14    |                      53. Whatever was done, therefore, in the
 94  14    |       Thus, of his crucifixion it was said,~"And they that are
 95  16    |           angels. But still, what was done for man by his death
 96  16    |         his deliverance~from evil was done for the angels also,

100  19    |        love him as it was~when he was actively hostile.~Now, a
101  19    |       gospel has not noted who it was who said, "I am~the Truth"~160?
102  19    |      course, the One who, when he was teaching the prayer, strongly~
103  20    |        let them~notice to whom it was that he said it. For this

116  23    |         of the matter of which it was originally composed. And
117  23    |       then, as if to expound what was said, it adds, "Neither

119  24    |          the condition of the two was the same? Or again, why

121  25    |         the apostle said this, he was commending grace, of which

137  28    |          immortality - but~yet it was immortality - in which man
138  28    |        immortality - in which man was capable of not dying, even
139  28    |         through grace - though it was to have obtained it through
140  28    |        Similarly, man in paradise was capable of self - destruction
141  28    |        yet if the life of justice was to be maintained, his will
142  28    |       after the Fall, God's mercy was even more abundant,~for
