And he made man worthy, who had fallen through disobedience, by uniting man to his own Logos through the virgin. Indeed what other glory among men could be greater than this glory? After saying, “I glorified you,” he continues by saying, “I will glorify you again” (John 12:28), indicating that because of his extraordinary love for man, in the second glory after the resurrection of the body, he would make the former mortal body immortal, and he would glorify it with such a glory, that he would not only be released from his first slavery, but would also be worthy of glory beyond man.
