182. Concerning the temptations of the Lord; with them may be compared temptations with man. Namely, temptations with man cause the hells to be removed, so that man may become spiritual and an angel. What, then, was accomplished by the temptations of the Lord Who from conception was God, and Who, from His own Divine, brought them to completion? Does it not follow that He subjugated all the hells, and glorified His Human?
