But now the case stands thus, that the Word has saved that which really
was [created, viz.,] humanity which had perished, effecting by means
of Himself that communion which should be held with it, and seeking
out its salvation. But the thing which had perished possessed flesh
and blood. For the Lord, taking dust from the earth, moulded man;
and it was upon his behalf that all the dispensation of the Lord’s
advent took place. He had Himself, therefore, flesh and blood,
【recapitulating】 in Himself not a certain other, but that original
handiwork of the Father, seeking out that thing which had perished.
And for this cause the apostle, in the Epistle to the Colossians,
says, “And though ye were formerly alienated, and enemies to His
knowledge by evil works, yet now ye have been 【reconciled】
in the body of His flesh, through His death, to present yourselves
holy and chaste, and without fault in His sight.”4567 He says, “Ye
have been 【reconciled】 in the body of His flesh,” because the
righteous flesh has reconciled that 'f'lesh which was being kept
under bondage in sin, and brought it into friendship with God. (pg786)
