A.H. 5.9.4. . . . Spirit of God . . . Spirit of God . . .
A.H. 5.10.1. . . . Spirit of God . . . word of God
A.H. 5.10.2. . . . Spirit of God . . .
A.H. 5.11.1. . . . being truly reckoned as carnal, because he did not receive the Spirit of God, shall not have power to inherit
the kingdom of heaven. . . . Now he says that the things which save are the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit
of our God.
A.H. 5.11.2. . . . believing in the name of the Lord, and receiving His Spirit. . . .
A.H. 5.12.2. . . . Thus does he attribute the Spirit as peculiar to God which in the last times He pours forth upon the human
race by the adoption of sons . . .
A.H. 5.12.5. . . . Son of God . . . . preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God . . . .
A.H. 5.12.6. For the Maker of all things, the Word of God, who did also from the beginning form man . . . .
A.H. 5.14.1. . . . Word of God . . .
A.H. 5.14.2. . . . recapitulating in Himself not a certain other, but that original handiwork of the Father . . .
A.H. 5.14.3. . . . Lord has reconciled man to God the Father . . . .
A.H. 5.14.4. . . . acknowledging the advent in the flesh of the Son of God, and [His] divinity
A.H. 5.15.2. . . . the Lord most plainly manifest Himself and the Father to His disciples . . . . but that He might show forth the
hand of God, that which at the beginning had moulded man. . . . and manifesting the hand of God . . . . not be seeking out
another hand by which man was fashioned, nor another Father; knowing that this hand of God which formed us at the
beginning. . . .
A.H. 5.15.3. . . . Word of God . . . . For the Lord who formed the visual powers is He who made the whole man, carrying out
the will of the Father.
A.H. 5.15.4. . . . But He, the very same who formed Adam at the beginning, with whom also the Father spake, [saying], "Let
Us make man after Our image and likeness" . . . Word of God . . .
A.H. 5.16.2. . . . Word of God . . . . so that by means of his resemblance to the Son, man might become precious to the Father
. . . . Word of God . . . . by assimilating man to the invisible Father through means of the visible Word . . . .
A.H. 5.16.3. . . . His word . . . . His Word; by which things He clearly shows forth God Himself
A.H. 5.17.1. . . . propitiating indeed for us the Father against whom we had sinned . . . . the commandment was given to man
by the Word . . . . His Word . . . . in which "He has visited us" through His Son?
A.H. 5.17.2. . . . the Father of our Lord; and therefore He taught men, by the evidence of their senses through those signs
which He accomplished, to give glory to God. . . . But as the only-begotten Son had come for man's salvation from Him
who is God, He did both stir up the incredulous by the miracles which He was in the habit of working, to give glory to
the Father . . . . His Son . . . . He is Himself the voice of God, by which man received commandments . . .
A.H. 5.17.3. . . . For if no one can forgive sins but God alone, while the Lord remitted them and healed men, it is plain that
He was Himself the Word of God made the Son of man, receiving from the Father the power of remission of sins; since
He was man, and since He was God, in order that since as man He suffered for us, so as God He might have compassion
on us, and forgive us our debts, in which we were made debtors to God our Creator. . . .
A.H. 5.17.4. . . . word of God . . . word of God . . . . Through the extension of the hands of a divine person, gathering together
the two peoples to one God." For these were two hands, because there were two peoples scattered to the ends of the
earth; but there was one head in the middle, as there is but one God, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
A.H. 5.18.1. . . . Word of God . . . . His Word . . . . which is sustained, indeed, after an invisible manner by the Father, but, on
the contrary, after a visible manner it bore His Word: and this is the true [Word]. . . .
A.H. 5.18.2. For the Father bears the creation and His own Word simultaneously, and the Word borne by the Father grants
the Spirit to all as the Father wills. . . . The Father is indeed above all, and He is the Head of Christ; but the Word is
through all things, and is Himself the Head of the Church; while the Spirit is in us all, and He is the living water, which
the Lord grants to those who rightly believe in Him, and love Him, and who know that "there is one Father, who is above
all, and through all, and in us all." . . . there is one God, the Father over all, and one Word of God, who is through all, by
whom all things have been made; and that this world belongs to Him, and was made by Him, according to the Father's
will, and not by angels . . .
A.H. 5.18.3. For the Creator of the world is truly the Word of God . . . who in an invisible manner contains all things created,
and is inherent in the entire creation, since the Word of God governs and arranges all things; and therefore He came to
His own in a visible manner, and was made flesh, and hung upon the tree, that He might sum up all things in Himself. . .
. For it is He who has power from the Father over all things, since He is the Word of God,
A.H. 5.19.1. . . . First-begotten . . .
A.H. 5.20.1. since all receive one and the same God the Father, and believe in the same dispensation regarding the
incarnation of the Son of God, and are cognizant of the same gift of the Spirit . . .
A.H. 5.20.2. . . . Spirit of God . . . . These things, therefore, He recapitulated in Himself: by uniting man to the Spirit, and
causing the Spirit to dwell in man, He is Himself made the head of the Spirit, and gives the Spirit to be the head of man:
for through Him (the Spirit) we see, and hear, and speak.
A.H. 5.21.2. Now the Lord would not have recapitulated in Himself that ancient and primary enmity against the serpent,
fulfilling the promise of the Creator, and performing His command, if He had come from another Father. But as He is
one and the same, who formed us at the beginning, and sent His Son at the end, the Lord did perform His command . . . .
