Chapter IV.—Continuation.
And [know ye, moreover], that He who was born of a woman was the Son of God, and
He that was crucified was “the first-born of every creature,”709 and God the Word, who also
created all things. For says the apostle, “There is one God, the Father, of whom are all things;
108
and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things.”710 And again, “For there is one God,
and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus;”711 and, “By Him were all
things created that are in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible; and He is before all
things, and by Him all things consist.”712
