In the same way, Christ also acted: He first removes the source of the evils. For the source, root, and mother of all evils is our nature of sin. (Πηγὴ γὰρ κακῶν καὶ ῥίζα καὶ μήτηρ πάντων ἐστὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἡ φύσις.) This nature paralyzes our bodies; it causes diseases.—St John Chrysostom, Homily on the Paralytic, par. 5
