Cyril of Alexandria (375-444), De adoratione et cultu in spiritu et veritate

iii, 100–102, in J. P. Migne (ed.), Patrologiae Cursus Completus: Series Graeca, vol. 68 (Paris, 1857–), pp. 293, 296.

The Only-begotten was made man, bore a body by nature at enmity with death, and became flesh, so that, enduring the death which was hanging over us as the result of our sin, he might abolish sin; and further, that he might put an end to the accusations of Satan, inasmuch as we have paid in Christ himself the penalties for the charges of sin against us: 'For he bore our sins, and was wounded because of us', according to the voice of the prophet. Or are we not healed by his wounds?
