Origen, on 1Tim 3:16

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
1Tim 3:16 · Douay-Rheims
“And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.”
On this verse:
“Behold the Savior's greatness. It extends to all the world.… Go up to the heavens. See how he fills the celestial regions, "He appeared to the angels." Go down in your mind to the nether world. See that he went down there, too.… Ponder the Lord's power, how it has filled the world—that is, the heavens, the earth and the nether regions.”
