"He took dust from the earth and made the man; He formed him. The devil came, and perverted him. Then the Lord came, took him again, and remolded, and recast him in baptism, and He suffered not his body to be of clay, but made it of a harder ware. He subjected the soft clay to the fire of the Holy Spirit...He was baptized with water that he might be remodelled, with fire that he might be hardened" ~John Chrysostom, Eutropius
