John Behr's translation of On the Incarnation

[Greenham]

Does anyone own the Popular Patristics edition of Athanasius' On the Incarnation? I would like to know how John Behr translates paragraph 43, in particular the phrase translated by Robertson as, "He partook of no corporeal property," and by Lawson as, " He shared nothing of its defect," with a footnote saying that the literal translation is, "He shared nothing of the things of the body."

If any of you have Behr's translation at your disposal, I would appreciate this information. Thank you.

I don't have the translation, but I'd be interested to know how Fr. John translated it.

"For just as he is in creation, yet in no way partakes of creation, but rather everything partakes of his power, so while also using the body as an instrument, he partook of none of the body's properties, but rather himself sanctified even the body."
