“If freedom of action τὸ
αὐτεξούσιον. is better than subjection to
control, τὸ
ὑπεξούσιον. and a man is free,
while the Son of God is subject to control, then the man is better
than the Son. This is absurd. And if he who is subject
to control cannot create free beings (for he cannot of his own will
confer on others what he does not possess himself), then the
Saviour, since He made us free, cannot Himself be under the control
of any.”
