"φῶς μέγα· οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν χώρᾳ καὶ σκιᾷ θανάτου, φῶς "λάμψει ἐφ' ὑμᾶς·" καὶ ὁ θεσπέσιος δὲ Δαυείδ φησιν, ὡς ἐκ προσώπου τῶν ἐν ἀχλύϊ καὶ σκότῳ "Ὅτι σὺ φωτιεῖς "λύχνον μου Κύριε, ὁ Θεός μου φωτιεῖς τὸ σκότος μου." ἐπειδὴ δὲ πεπλήρωται λοιπὸν ἐφ' ἡμῖν ἡ ὑπόσχεσις τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ τὸ θεῖον ἡμῖν καὶ νοητὸν διηύγασε φῶς, ἐγνώκαμεν αὐτοῦ τὴν δόξαν ἐν προσώπῳ Χριστοῦ· εἶτα εἴπερ ἐστὶν ὁ Χριστὸς οὐ φύσει τε καὶ ἀληθῶς Θεὸς, τὴν τοῦ Πατρὸς δόξαν ἐν αὐτῷ τεθεάμεθα; καίτοι λέγοντος ἀκούω σαφῶς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρός "Τὴν δόξαν μου ἑτέρῳ οὐ δώσω·" ἀλλ' ἰδοὺ δέδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Υἱῷ· οὐχ ἕτερος ἄρα παρ' αὐτόν ἐστιν, πλὴν ὅσον ἐν ὑποστάσει καὶ τὸ ὑπάρχειν ἰδικῶς, ἵνα μὴ φαίνηται ψευδοεπήσας ὁ Πατὴρ τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τὴν ἰδίαν δόξαν προθεὶς, καὶ ὅτι Θεὸς κατὰ φύσιν ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῷ τε καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ γινωσκόμενος· πρόσωπος γάρ ἐστι καὶ εἰκὼν καὶ ἀπαύγασμα τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀποκαλύπτεται μὲν ὁ Υἱὸς παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς, ἀποκαλύπτει δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς ἡμῖν ἐν ἑαυτῷ τὸν Πατέρα.
