ἐπεὶ γὰρ ἐν σοὶ, φησὶν, ἐστὶ θεὸς, διὰ τοῦτο σὺ θεὸς ἰσχυρὸς καὶ κρυφαῖος. οὐκοῦν διὰ τούτων ὁ μὲν ἀληθὴς καὶ μόνος θεὸς εἷς ἂν εἴη, μόνος κυρίως τυγχάνων τῆς προσηγορίας· ὁ δὲ δεύτερος μετουσίᾳ τοῦ ἀληθοῦς τῆς κοινωνίας ἠξίωται, οὔτε ὢν καθ’ ἑαυτὸν, οὔτε ὑφεστὼς δίχα τοῦ θεοποιοῦντος αὐτὸν πατρὸς, οὔτ’ ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς θεολογούμενος, ἀλλ’ ὅλον αὐτὸ τοῦτο ὤν τε καὶ ζῶν καὶ ὑφεστὼς διὰ τὸν ἐν αὐτῷ πατέρα, συνών τε τῷ πατρὶ καὶ ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι’ αὐτὸν θεοποιούμενος, τό τε εἶναι ὁμοῦ καὶ τὸ θεὸς εἶναι οὐκ ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ, παρὰ δὲ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐσχηκώς.
