122. Let no one, therefore, receive the Son without the Father, because we read of the Son. The Son hath the Father, but not in a temporal sense, nor by reason of His passion, nor owing to His conception, nor by grace. I have read of His Generation, I have not read of His Conception. And the Father says: “I have begotten;” Ps. ii. 7. He does not say: “I have created.” And the Son calls not God His Creator in the eternity of His divine Generation, but Father.
