'The Lord, though he was God, became man. He suffered
for the sake of whose who suffer, he was bound for those in bonds,
condemned for the guilty, buried for those who lie in the grave; but he
rose from the dead, and cried aloud: "Who will contend with me? Let him
confront me." I have freed the condemned, brought the dead back to life,
raised men from their graves. Who has anything to say against me? I, he
said, am the Christ; I have destroyed death, triumphed over the enemy,
trampled hell underfoot, bound the strong one, and taken men up to the
heights of heaven: I am the Christ.'
