The Three are God for the Trinity is one God. She gave existence to everything, She created all things, She created in the world the Logos and Son of the Father according to the flesh unto our salvation, being inseparable from the Father and the Spirit. He truly is made flesh by the arrival of the Spirit, and He becomes what He was not, a human being like me except for sin and every lawlessness, (Heb 4:15) He was at the same time both God and human being seen by all. having the divine Spirit Who is united with his nature, with whom He has given life to the dead, opened the eyes of the blind, cleansed lepers, and driven out demons. (Mt 10:8) He suffered the cross and likewise death, He was resurrected in the Spirit, and taken up in glory, (1Tm 3:16) and He has renovated the path to heaven for all (Heb 10:20) who have faith in Him, a faith without doubt, and He has poured out copiously the All-Holy Spirit (Tt 3:6) on all who show their faith by their works. Even now He pours out the Spirit abundantly on such people. And He deifies by the Spirit those to whom He has been ungrudgingly united; He changes them from human beings without changing, and renders them children of God, siblings of the Saviour, co-heirs of Christ, and heirs of God, (Rm 8:16 seq.) gods joined to God in the Holy Spirit, prisoners indeed by flesh alone, but free in spirit, easily rising together with Christ into heaven, and obtaining full citizenship there (Ph 3:20) in the contemplation of good things which eyes have not seen. (1Cor 2:9) For glory and praise are fitting to You with the Father and your divine Spirit, honour and worship now and always
