25. For as the Father sanctifies, so, too,
the Son sanctifies, and the Holy Spirit sanctifies. The Father
sanctifies according to that which is written: “The God of
peace sanctify you, and may your spirit, soul, and body be preserved
entire without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” 1 Thess. v. 23. And
elsewhere the Son says: “Father, sanctify them in the
truth.” S. John xvii. 17.
