... of iniquity, deriving death from the sin transmissed to them; according as it is said, “For I was conceived in iniquity.” …In dying, saith He, I do the will of My Father, but I am not deserving of death. Nought have I done wherefore I should die, yet is it Mine own doing that I die, that by the death of an innocent One, they may be freed who had wherefore they should die. “They set me in places,” as though in Hades, as though in the tomb, as though in His very Passion, “as the dead of the world.”[Psalms 38:4-5]
