True life in death by Ignatius of Antioch

“There is only one Physician, having both flesh and spirit, born and unborn, God becomes man, true life in death, from Mary and from God, first passible and then impassible – Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Ignatius of AntiochTo the Ephesians  7,2

“For our God Jesus Christ, according to God’s economy, was conceived by Mary of the seed of David (cf. Jn 7:42: Rom 3:27), but also by the Holy Spirit. He was born and baptized, that by His passion He might purify the water” 

Ignatius of AntiochTo the Ephesians  18,2
