Gregory of Nyssa, on Gen 2:7
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
Gen 2:7 · Douay-Rheims
“And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.”
On this verse:
“God made the inner person; he molded the outer. "Molding" is suitable for clay, but "making" is [fitting] for an image. So on the one hand, he "molded" flesh, but on the other, he "made" the soul.”
