For lust becomes and fabricates all things, and wishes to\r\ncheat, so as to conceal the man. But that man with whom the Word dwells\r\ndoes not alter himself, does not get himself up: he has the form which\r\nis of the Word; he is made like to God; he is beautiful; he does not\r\nornament himself: his is beauty, the true beauty, for it is God; and\r\nthat man becomes God, since God so wills. Heraclitus, then, rightly\r\nsaid, “Men are gods, and gods are men.” For the Word Himself is the\r\nmanifest mystery: God in man, and man God. And the Mediator executes\r\nthe Father’s will; for the Mediator is the Word, who is common to\r\nboth—the Son of God, the Saviour of men; His Servant, our Teacher. And\r\nthe flesh being a slave, as Paul testifies, how can one with any reason\r\nadorn the handmaid like a pimp? For that which is of flesh has the form\r\nof a servant. Paul says, speaking of the Lord, “Because He emptied\r\nHimself, taking the form of a servant,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_628\" id=\"FNanchor_628\">[628]</a> calling the outward man\r\nservant, previous to the Lord becoming a servant and wearing flesh. But\r\nthe compassionate God Himself set the flesh free, and, releasing it\r\nfrom destruction, and from bitter and deadly bondage, endowed it with\r\nincorruptibility, arraying the flesh in this, the holy embellishment of\r\neternity—immortality.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER I.
