Book II. From the First Conference in 1773 to the First Regular General Conference in 1792. · Chapter 3 · II. Of the Word, Or Son of God, who was made very Man

The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man’s nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and very man, who truly suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, to his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only for original guilt but also for actual sins of men.
