Εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἐκεῖνος μὲν τοῦ θεοῦ υἱός, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ υἱοῦ υἱοὶ καλούμεθα, πιθανὸν ἦν αὐτῶν τὸ πλάσμα· εἰ δὲ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡμεῖς υἱοὶ λεγόμεθα, οὗ καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν υἱός, δηλονότι καὶ ἡμεῖς τοῦ πατρὸς μετέχομεν τοῦ λέγοντος· υἱοὺς ἐγέννησα καὶ ὕψωσα. εἰ μὴ γὰρ μετείχομεν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔλεγεν· ἐγέννησα· εἰ δὲ αὐτὸς ἐγέννησεν, οὐχ ἕτερος ἀλλ’ αὐτὸς ἡμῶν ἐστι πατήρ.
