Homilies on Isaiah, Homilia VII · §2

He shared flesh to make us his own

Flesh and blood were alien to his divinity; he took what was not his so that we who were estranged by sin might become his household.

Latin

Alienus erat a natura divina sanguinem et carnem suscipere; propter nos ea suscepit ut domesticos nos faceret qui alieni eramus per peccatum.
