Works Gregory Thaumaturgus (213-270) De fide capitula duodecim (Liber de Dei Verbi incarnatione) Twelve Topics on the Faith

Topic IX.

If any one says that Christ suffers change or alteration, and refuses to acknowledge that He is unchangeable in the Spirit, though corruptible 1 in the flesh, 2 let him be anathema.

Explication.

How could one say that Christ suffers change or alteration, when the Lord Himself says, "I am and change not;" 3 again, "His soul shall not be left in Hades, neither shall His flesh see corruption?" 4
