Matthew 1:21
If he already has a people and saves them before he is born of Mary, it is clear he does so as God.
Greek
Ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ, ὅτι ἕως πότε συνδιαιτῶμαι ὑμῖν τοῖς οὕτως ὑβρί ζουσιν καὶ ἀπίστοις δείκνυσιν, ὅτι ὁ τῆς ἐνσάρκου παρουσίας καιρὸς ἀπῄτει αὐτὸν συνδιαιτᾶσθαι μετὰ θεοπρεποῦς ἡμερότητος τοῖς οὐκ ἀγαθοῖς, ἵνα αὐτοὺς δι' ὧν ποιεῖ διορθώσηται. Ἕως πότε, φησίν, συνδιαι τῶμαι ὑμῖν τοῖς οὕτως ὑβρισταῖς καὶ ἀπίστοις δεικνύων, ὅτι ἡ μετὰ σαρκὸς παρουσία αὐτοῦ ἠνάγκασεν αὐτὸν συναναστρέφεσθαι τοῖς οὐκ ἀγαθοῖς, ἵνα διορθώσηται αὐτούς.
