Epigraph

We have sinned and done wrong, acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments [ apo tn entoln sou ] and ordinances. We have not listened to your servants the prophets [ tn douln sou tn prophtn ].

Daniel 9:56a (Theodotion)

It is he that made heaven and earth and fashioned man in the beginning,

who is proclaimed through the law and the prophets, who was enfleshed upon a virgin,

who was hung upon a tree, who was buried in the earth, who was raised from the dead and

who went to the heights of heaven, who sits at the Fathers right hand,

who has power to save everyone, through whom the Father did his works from beginning to eternity [ aparchs mechri ainn ].

Melito of Sardis ( On Pascha 104)

All things are twofold in our Lord Jesus Christ. His birth is twofold, one of God before the ages [ mia ek theou pro tn ainn ], and one of a virgin in the consummation of the ages [ kai mia ek parthenou epi synteleiai tn ainn ].

Cyril of Jerusalem ( Catechesis 15.1)
