Christ, the governing power of the Holy Spirit.
A.H. 3.8.2. . . . not one of created and subject things, shall ever be compared to the Word of God, by whom all things were
made.
A.H. 3.8.3. For that all things . . . were both established and created by Him who is God over all, through His Word . . . . so
that He indeed who made all things can alone, together with His Word, properly be termed God and Lord: but the things
which have been made cannot have this term applied to them, neither should they justly assume that appellation which
belongs to the Creator
A.H. 3.9.1. . . . the prophets and the apostles confessing the Father and the Son; but naming no other as God, and confessing
no other as Lord . . . . and Him who, by His Son Christ Jesus, has called us to the knowledge of Himself. . . . There is
therefore one and the same God, the Father of our Lord, who also promised through the prophets, that He would send His
forerunner; and His salvation--that is, His Word--He caused to be made visible to all flesh, [the Word] Himself being
made incarnate.
A.H. 3.9.2. . . . His Son . . . because He was God, who also "was made known in Judea" . . .
A.H. 3.9.3. . . . but the Word of God . . . who did also take upon Him flesh, and was anointed by the Spirit from the Father. . .
. For inasmuch as the Word of God was man from the root of Jesse, and son of Abraham, in this respect did the Spirit of
God rest upon Him, and anoint Him to preach the Gospel to the lowly. But inasmuch as He was God, He did not judge
according to glory, nor reprove after the manner of speech. . . . Therefore did the Spirit of God descend upon Him, [the
Spirit] of Him who had promised by the prophets that He would anoint Him.
A.H. 3.10.2. . . . Jesus Christ our Lord, the Son of the Most High God. . . . son of God. . . .
A.H. 3.10.3 Greek (3.10.2 English) . . . Son of God . . . Son of God . . . For He is indeed Saviour, as being the Son and Word
of God; but salutary, since [He is] Spirit. . . .
A.H. 3.10.5. Greek, (3.10.4 English). Now by all these one God is shown forth, revealing to men the new dispensation of
liberty, the covenant, through the new advent of His Son.

would send His messenger before His face, who was John.
A.H. 3.11.1. . . . there is but one God, who made all things by His Word . . . there is one Almighty God, who made all things
by His Word
A.H. 3.11.2. And, according to certain of the Gnostics, this world was made by angels, and not by the Word of God . . .
while the Gospel affirms plainly, that by the Word, which was in the beginning with God, all things were made . . .

A.H. 3.11.4. . . . His Son . . .
A.H. 3.11.5. . . . God . . . who established the waters, and brought forth the fountains, was He who in these last times
bestowed upon mankind, by His Son, the blessing of food and the favor of drink. . . . since there is none beyond Him, but
He exists in the bosom of the Father.
A.H. 3.11.6. For He, the Son who is in His bosom, declares to all the Father who is invisible. Wherefore they know Him to
whom the Son reveals Him; and again, the Father, by means of the Son, gives knowledge of His Son to those who love
Him. . . . Son of the living God . . .
A.H. 3.11.7. Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . . .
A.H. 3.11.8. From which fact, it is evident that the Word, the Artificer of all, He that sitteth upon the cherubim, and contains
all things, He who was manifested to men, has given us the Gospel under four aspects, but bound together by one Spirit .
. . Son of God . . . For that according to John relates His original, effectual, and glorious generation from the Father . . .
And the Word of God Himself used to converse with the ante-Mosaic patriarchs. . . .Afterwards, being made man for us,
He sent the gift of the celestial Spirit over all the earth, protecting us with His wings. Such, then, as was the course
followed by the Son of God, so was also the form of the living creatures, so was also the character of the Gospel.
A.H. 3.11.9. Others, again (the Montanists), that they may set at nought the gift of the Spirit, which in the latter times has
been, by the good pleasure of the Father, poured out upon the human race . . . in which the Lord promised that He would
send the Paraclete . . . Sinning, therefore, in all these particulars, against the Spirit of God . . .
A.H. 3.12.1. Again, when the Holy Ghost had descended upon the disciples, that they all might prophesy and speak with
tongues. . . . The God, therefore, who did promise by the prophet, that He would send His Spirit upon the whole human
race, was he who did send . . .
A.H. 3.12.2. . . . Son of God . . . the Christ whom God promised to send, He sent in Jesus, whom they crucified and God
raised up.
A.H. 3.12.3. Peter, together with John, preached to them this plain message of glad tidings, that the promise which God had
made to the fathers had been fulfilled by Jesus; not certainly proclaiming another god, but the Son of God, who also was
made man, and suffered; thus leading Israel into knowledge, and through Jesus preaching the resurrection of the dead,
and showing, that whatever the prophets had proclaimed as to the suffering of Christ, these had God fulfilled.
A.H. 3.12.4. . . . whom the same God that had sent the prophets, being God Himself, raised up, and gave in Him salvation to
men.
