1Καὶ οὗτος ὁ γεννηθεὶς ἐκ γυναικὸς υἱός ἐστι τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ὁ σταυρωθεὶς πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως καὶ θεὸς λόγος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησε τὰ πάντα.

2λέγει γὰρ ὁ ἀπόστολος· Εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα, καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα. καὶ πάλιν· Εἷς γὰρ θεὸς καὶ εἷς μεσίτης θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνθρωπος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, καί· Ἐν αὐτῷ ἐκτίσθη τὰ πάντα, τὰ ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς, ὁρατὰ καὶ ἀόρατα· καὶ αὐτός ἐστι πρὸ πάντων, καὶ τὰ πάντα ἐν αὐτῷ συνέστηκεν.
