Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Second Series Vol. 3
Orth.--Nay: does not the statement of the divine Apostle, that the reason of His making the children partakers of the flesh and blood was that through death He might destroy him that hath the power of death, distinctly signify the impassibility of the Godhead, and the passibility of the flesh, and that because the divine nature could not suffer He assumed the nature that could and through it destroyed the power of the devil? Eran.--How did He destroy the power of the devil and the dominion of death through the flesh?
