why now that the common saviour of all has died on our behalf we the faithful in christ no longer die the death as before agreeably to the warning of the law for this condemnation has ceased but corruption ceasing and being put away by the grace of the resurrection

henceforth we are only dissolved agreeably to our body's mortal nature at the time god has fixed for each that we may be able to gain a better resurrection for like the seeds which are cast into the earth we do not perish by disillusion but sown in the earth shall rise again death having been brought to naught by the grace of the saviour

hence it is that blessed paul who was made a surety of the resurrection to all says this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality but when this corruption shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in victory o death where is thy sting o grave where is thy victory

why then one might say if it were necessary for him to yield up his body to death in the stead of all did he not lay it aside as man privately instead of going so far as even to be crucified for it were more fitting for him to have laid his body aside honourably than ignominiously to endure a death like this

now see to it i reply whether such an objection be not merely human whereas what the saviour did is truly divine and for many reasons worthy of his godhead firstly because the death which befalls men comes to them agreeably to the weakness of their nature for unable to continue in one stay they are dissolved with time

Hence too diseases befall them, and they fall sick and die.

But the Lord is not weak, but is the power of God, and word of God, and very life.

If then he had laid aside his body somewhere in private, and upon a bed, after the manner of men, it would have been thought that he also did this agreeably to the weakness of his nature, and because there was nothing in him more than in other men.

but since he was firstly the life and the word of god and it was necessary secondly for the death on behalf of all to be accomplished for this cause on the other hand because he was life and power the body gained strength in him while on the other as death must needs come to pass he did not himself take but received at others hands the occasion of perfecting his sacrifice

since it was not fit either that the lord should fall sick who healed the diseases of others nor again was it right for that body to lose its strength in which he gives strength to the weakness of others also why then did he not prevent death as he did sickness because it was for this that he had taken the body and it was unfitting to prevent it lest the resurrection also should be hindered

while yet it was equally unfitting for sickness to precede his death, lest it should be thought weakness on the part of him that was in the body.

Did he not then hunger?

Yes, he hungered, agreeably, to the properties of his body, but he did not perish of hunger, because of the Lord that wore it.

Hence, even if he died to ransom all, yet he saw not corruption, for his body rose again in perfect soundness, since the body belonged to none other but to the very life.

but it were better one might say to have hidden from the designs of the jews that he might guard his body altogether from death now let such an one be told that this too was underfitting the lord for as it was not fitting for the word of god being the life to inflict death himself on his own body

so neither was it suitable to fly from death offered by others but rather to follow it up unto destruction for which reason he naturally neither laid aside his body of his own accord nor again fled from the jews when they took counsel against him

but this did not show weakness on the word's part but on the contrary showed him to be a saviour and life in that he both awaited death to destroy it and hasted to accomplish the death offered him for the salvation of all and besides the saviour came to accomplish not his own death but the death of men whence he did not lay aside his body by a death of his own for he was life and had none but received that death which came from men in order perfectly to do away with this when it met him in his own body

Again, from the following also one might see the reasonableness of the Lord's body meeting this end.

The Lord was especially concerned for the resurrection of the body which he was to accomplish.

For what he was to do was to manifest it as a monument of victory over death, and to assure all of his, having effected the blotting out of corruption and of the incorruption of their bodies from thenceforward, as a gauge of which, and as proof of the resurrection in store for all, he has preserved his own body incorrupt,
