τέλειος ὢν παρὰ πατρός, ἐνανθρωπ΄λησας ἐν ἡμῖν οὐ δοκήσει, ἀλλ ἀληθείᾳ, τέλειον εἰς ἑαυτὸν ἀναπλάσας ἄνθρωπον ἀπὸ Μαρίας τῆς θεοτόκου διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου· οὐκ ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκήσας, ὡς εἴωθεν ἐν προφήταις λαλεῖν κατοικεῖν τε ἐν δυνάμει καὶ ἐνεργεῖν, ἀλλ’ αὐτὸς ό Λόγος σὰρξ ξενόμενος, οὐ τραπεὶς τοῦ εἶναι θεός, οὐ μεταβαλὼν τὴν θεότητα εἰς ἀνθρωπότητα, ἀλλὰ σὺν τῷ ἰδίῳ πληρώματι τῆς αὐτοῦ θεότητος καὶ τῇ ἱδίᾳ ὑποστάσει τοῦ θεοῦ Λόγου καὶ ἐνυποστάτου συμπεριλαβὼν τὸ εἶναι ἄνθρωπος καὶ εἵ τι ἐστω ἄνθρπος. ἄνθρωπον δὲ δὲ τέλειον ⟨ἔχοντα⟩ ὃσα ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ οἶα ἄνθρπος· τοῦτον ἦλθε καὶ ἔλαβεν ό μονογενής, ἳνα ἐν τῷ τελείῳ ἀνθρωπῳ τελείως τὸ πᾶν τῆς σωτηρίας θεὸς ὣν ἐργάσηται, μηδὲν ἀπολείψας τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ἀπολειφθὲν μέρος εἰς μέρος πόλιν γένηται βρώματος διαβόλου.
