ἀτοπώτατον γάρ ἐστι λέγειν ποτὲ πατέρα μὴ γε- >γενῆσθαι· πατέρα χωρὶς υἱοῦ μήτε ὀνομάζεσθαι μήτε εἶναι δύνασθαι >ἔστιν αὐτοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ μαρτυρία· ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ πατρὶ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ >ἐν ἐμοί« καὶ »ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ἕν ἐσμεν«. οὐδεὶς ἡμῶν >ἀρνεῖται τὸ »γεγεννημένον«, ἀλλά τισιν γεγεννημένον, παντάπασιν >ἄπερ ἀόρατα καὶ ὁρατὰ προσαγορεύεται, γεννηθέντα τεχνίτην καὶ >ἀρχαγγέλων καὶ ἀγγέλων καὶ κόσμου καὶ τῶ ἀνθρωπίνῳ γένει, ὅτι >φησίν·
