Let us now ascertain how those statements which we\r\nhave advanced are supported by the authority of holy Scripture.\r\nThe Apostle Paul says, that the only-begotten Son is\r\nthe “image of the invisible God,” and “the first-born of\r\nevery creature.”<a id=\"r53\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f53\"><sup>[53]</sup></a> And when writing to the Hebrews, he\r\nsays of Him that He is “the brightness of His glory, and\r\nthe express image of His person.”<a id=\"r54\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f54\"><sup>[54]</sup></a> Now, we find in the\r\ntreatise called the Wisdom of Solomon the following description\r\nof the wisdom of God: “For she is the breath of the\r\npower of God, and the purest efflux<a id=\"r55\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f55\"><sup>[55]</sup></a> of the glory of the\r\nAlmighty.”<a id=\"r56\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f56\"><sup>[56]</sup></a> Nothing that is polluted can therefore come\r\nupon her. For she is the splendour of the eternal light, and\r\nthe stainless mirror of God’s working, and the image of His\r\ngoodness. Now we say, as before, that Wisdom has her existence\r\nnowhere else save in Him who is the beginning of all\r\nthings: from whom also is derived everything that is wise,\r\nbecause He Himself is the only one who is by nature a Son,\r\nand is therefore termed the Only-begotten.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER II.
