1 Cor. xi.
12. George
of Laodicea applied this passage to the Son, and wrote to the
Arians: “Why complain of Pope Alexander (i.e.
of Alexandria) for saying that the Son is from the
Father.…For if the apostle wrote All things are from
God…He may be said to be from God in that sense in which
all things are from God.” Athan., De
Syn. 17.
