In Origen we find the two words οὐσία (essence, or substance)
and ὑπόστασις
(individual subsistence) accurately distinguished. Quoting the
description of Wisdom, as being the breath (ἀτμίς)
of the power of God, and pure effluence (ἀπόρροια) from the
glory of the Almighty, and radiance (ἀπαύγασμα)
of the Eternal Light Wisdom of Solomon vii. 25, quoted by Origen, Fragm. in
Epist. ad Hebræos, Lommatzsch, V. p. 300.,” he says that
“Wisdom proceeding from Him is generated of the very substance of
God,” and adds that “these comparisons most manifestly shew
that there is community of substance between Father and Son. For
an effluence appears to be ὁμοούσιος, that
is, of one substance with that body from which it is an effluence or
vapour.”
