Alone He came down; but with many He goes up.

 

"It was not on His account that the Word was made flesh, but on our account, for it is only through the flesh of the Word that we can be transmuted into sons of God. Alone He came down; but with many He goes up. He, who from God made himself a human being, makes gods from human beings."  — John Scotus Eriugena
