Women And The Beginning

Τὸ ὑπερβατὸν οὕτως ἔχει· Ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς παρθένον ἐξ οἴκου Δαυϊδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριὰμ, μεμνηστευμένην ἀνδρὶ, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσήφ. Οὐκ ἀπεστάλη δὲ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ ὁ ἄγγελος· ἐπειδὴ οὐδὲν ἡν κοινὸν τῷ Ἰωσὴφ πρὸς τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου γέννησιν. Ὡς δὴ ἀρξαμένης τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἀπὸ γυναικὸς, οὕτω καὶ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἔδει ἄρξασθαι. Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Τὸ Κατὰ Λουκαν Ἐπαγγελιον Source : Migne PG 17.320b

This contains hyperbaton: An angel was sent to a virgin of the house of David, and the name of the virgin was Mary, who was betrothed to a man by the name of Joseph. 1 For the angel was not sent to Joseph, since He had no share in the conception of the Lord. For as sin's beginning was from a woman, so it was necessary that good things begin from a woman. Origen, On the Gospel of St Luke, Fragment 1 Lk 1.26-27
