John of Damascus on Human Nature
Since this was the case, with His own hands He created man after His own image and likeness from the visible and invisible natures. From the earth He formed his body and by His own inbreathing gave him a rational and understanding soul, which last we say is the divine image—for the ‘according to His image’ means the intellect and free will, while the ‘according to His likeness’ means such likeness in virtue as is possible.
