“When the fullness of time was come, thou spoke to us in thy only-begotten Son, through whom thou created the ages; Since he is the splendour of thy glory and the image of thy substance, and bears up all things through the word of thy power, he thought it not robbery to be equal to thee, God and Father. But, eternal God though he is, he appeared on earth, associated with men, took flesh from a virgin, emptied himself . . . to pass judgment on sin in his flesh through being himself subject to the law, so that they who die in Adam might live again in this thy Christ.
