Becoming Man

Ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐγνώσθη, ἡ χάρις ἤλθε, καὶ ἡ ζωὴ ἐφάνη· ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ Υἱὸς ὤν, ὁ ἐκ Θεοῦ Λόγος, σὰρξ ἐγένετο δι' ἡμας, ἵνα θνητοὺς εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἀναστήσῃ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνεγείρῃ· ὁ ποιητὴς τῶν ὅλων, ὁ πρὸ πάσης κτίσεως ὁρατῶν τε καὶ ἀοράτων, μόνῳ Παρτὶ καὶ Πνεύματι συνυπάρχων ἀθάνατος, σήμερον ἰδοὺ ἐκ Παρθένου γεννώμενος, χωρὶς πάσης ἁμαρτίας, ἄνευ ἀνθρώπου, ἤτοι ἀνδρος.

Ἀμφιλοχίος Ἐπισκόπος Ἰκονίου, ἐκ τοῦ Περὶ τῆς κατὰ σάρκα γεννήσεως

Truth is known, grace has come, and life has appeared, the Word of God and the Son of God is incarnated for us that mortals be established in eternal life and be raised from the dead; the Creator of all things, before every created thing visible and invisible, with the Father and the Holy Spirit immortally coexisting, behold, today He is born of the Virgin, He who is without sin, without deed of man, man has become.
