And others make known the fact of His origin from the Father as cause, for instance My Father is greater than I St. John xiv. 28.. For from Him He derives both His being and all that He has Greg. Naz., Orat. 36, and other Greeks.: His being was by generative and not by creative means, as, I came forth from the Father and am come St. John xvi. 28., and I live by the FatherIbid. vi. 57.. But all that He hath is not His by free gift or by teaching, but in a causal sense, as, The Son can do nothing of Himself but what He seeth the Father doIbid. v. 19.. For if the Father is not, neither is the Son. For the Son is of the Father and in the Father and with the Father, and not after Text, μετά. Various reading, κατά. the Father. In like manner also what He doeth is of Him and with Him. For there is one and the same, not similar but the same, will and energy and power in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
