According to the nature of His humanity, then, our Redeemer feared God; because, in order to redeem proud man, He took for him a humble mind. Of whom well, by this, that Job is said to depart from evil, His action too is designated. For He indeed departed from evil, not that which He touched by doing, but that which He reproved by finding: because He forsook the old life of human conversation, which being born He found; and impressed upon the manners of His followers the new life which He brought with Himself.
