Chapter IV.—Continuation. The Evangelists, too, when they declared that the one Father was “the only true God,”748 did not omit what concerned our Lord, but wrote: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.”749 And concerning the incarnation: “The Word,” says [the Scripture], “became flesh, and dwelt among us.”750 And again: “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”751 And those very apostles, who said “that there is one God,”752 said 111 also that “there is one Mediator between God and men.”753 Nor were they ashamed of the incarnation and the passion. For what says [one]? “The man Christ Jesus, who gave Him- self”754 for the life and salvation of the world. 748 John xvii. 3. 749 John i. 1. 750 John i. 14. 751 Matt. i. 1. 752 1 Cor. viii. 4, 6; Gal. iii. 20. 753 Eph. iv. 5, 6; 1 Tim. ii. 5. 754 1 Tim. ii. 5.
