133. So, then, no one is without sin except
God alone, for no one is without sin except God. S. Matt. xix. 17. Also, no one forgives sins except God
alone, for it is also written: “Who can forgive sins but
God alone?” S. Luke v. 21. And one
cannot be the Creator of all except he be not a creature, and he who is
not a creature is without doubt God; for it is written:
“They worshipped the creature rather than the Creator, Who is God
blessed for ever.” Rom. i. 25. God also
does not worship, but is worshipped, for it is written:
“Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou
serve.” Deut. vi. 13.
