ὁ μὲν γὰρ δίδωσιν, ὁ δὲ λαμβάνει· ὥστε κυρίως καὶ ἕνα ἐκεῖνον εἶναι θεὸν καὶ μόνον μὲν καὶ φύσει ὄντα καὶ μὴ παρ’ ἑτέρου λαβόντα, τὸν δὲ τῶν δευτερείων ἠξιῶσθαι καὶ τὸ θεὸν εἶναι λαβόντα παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἔχειν, ὡς ἂν εἰκόνα τοῦ θεοῦ, μιᾶς ἐπ’ ἀμφοῖν κατὰ τὸ παράδειγμα τῆς θεότητος ἐπινοουμένης, ἑνός τε ὄντος θεοῦ του καθ’ ἑαυτὸν ἀνάρχως καὶ ἀγεννήτως ὄντος, διὰ δὲ τοῦ υἱοῦ ὡς ἂν δι’ ἐσόπτρου καὶ εἰκόνος ἐπιθεωρουμένου.
