Fragments from the Lost Writings of Irenaeus

He suffered shame on earth, while He is higher than all glory and praise in heaven; who, "though He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by divine power; "[113]

Origen de Principiis Book IV

This "word," then, and this "wisdom," by the imitation of which we are said to be either wise or rational (beings), becomes "all things to all men, that it may gain all; "and because it is made weak, it is therefore said of it, "Though He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God."[43]

Hippolytus Exegetical Fragments

In this sense, also, the inspired Paul says of Him: "Though He was crucified in weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God."[31]
