176. And that thou mightest know that when
he says: “That God may be all in all,” he does not
separate Christ from God the Father, he also says to the
Colossians: “Where there is neither male nor female, Jew
nor Greek, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ is all and
in all.” Col. iii. 11. So also
saying to the Corinthians: “That God may be all and in
all,” he comprehended in that the unity and equality of Christ
with God the Father, for the Son is not separated from the
Father. And in like manner as the Father worketh all and in all,
so also Christ worketh all in all. If, then, Christ also worketh
all in all, He is not made subject in the glory of the Godhead, but in
us. But how is He made subject in us, except in the way in which
He was made lower than the angels, I mean in the sacrament of His
body? For all things which served their Creator from their first
beginning seemed not as yet to be made subject to Him in
that.
