I would that
ye should understand
that God himself
shall come down among
the children of men,
and shall redeem his people.
And because
he dwelleth in flesh
he shall be called
the Son of God,
and having
subjected the flesh
to the will of the Father,
being the Father
and the Son—
The Father, because
he was conceived
by the power of God;
and the Son,
because of the flesh;
thus becoming
the Father and Son—
And they are one God,
yea, the very Eternal Father
of heaven and of earth.
And thus the flesh
becoming subject
to the Spirit,
or the Son
to the Father,
being one God,
suffereth temptation,
and yieldeth not
to the temptation,
but suffereth himself
to be mocked,
and scourged,
and cast out,
and disowned
by his people.
And after all this,
after working
many mighty miracles
among the children of men,
he shall be led, yea,
even as Isaiah said,
as a sheep
before the shearer
is dumb,
so he opened not
his mouth.
Yea, even so
he shall be led,
crucified, and slain,
the flesh becoming
subject even unto death,
the will of the Son
being swallowed up
in the will of the Father.
And thus God breaketh
the bands of death,
having gained
the victory over death;
giving the Son power
to make intercession
for the children of men—
Having ascended into heaven,
having the bowels of mercy;
being filled with compassion
towards the children of men;
standing betwixt them and justice;
having broken the bands of death,
taken upon himself
their iniquity and
their transgressions,
having redeemed them,
and satisfied
the demands of justice.
