For by the sacrifice of His own body, He both put an end to the law
which was against us, and made a new beginning of life for us, by the hope of
resurrection which He has given us. For since from man it was that death
prevailed over men, for this cause conversely, by the Word of God being made
man has come about the destruction of death and the resurrection of life; as
the man which bore Christ says: For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall
all be made alive: and so forth. For no longer now do we die as subject to
condemnation; but as men who rise from the dead we await the general
resurrection of all, which 1 Timothy 6:15 in its own times He shall show, even
God, Who has also wrought it, and bestowed it upon us.
St. Athanasius of
Alexandria
Christ Crucified
