Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own, zealous of good works.
All Commentaries on Titus 2:14 Go To Titus 2
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
How could he have given himself if he had not worn flesh? He offered his flesh and gave himself for us, in order that undergoing death in it, “He might bring to nothing the one who held the power of death, that is, the devil.” For this reason we continually give thanks in the name of Jesus Christ. We do not bring to nothing the grace which came to us through him. For the coming of the Savior in the flesh has been the ransom and salvation of all creation.
