Tanrı Kelâmının İnişi ve Tek Oğul

The Word of God descended by his own will, and his virtue dwelt in the immaculate body born of Mary. He did not, of course, humble himself in his own essence, nor was he born as such; his charity dwelt in another, to whom he communicated his name. Indeed, Mary in no way gave birth to the essence, which can be reached by no one, but to a man adequately similar to the human race. Mary is a woman, one from the humanity and posterity of Adam, and she gave birth to a son similar to her spiritually and bodily. Let the listener beware, lest from the fact that I have called Christ a man, he should think that I have spoken of two Sons, as the heretics contend. There is one Son, and this is the Son of God, consubstantial with the Father. Far be it, therefore, that I should ever have thought of two sons; I believe in one, the Word of God together with our body. I call Christ a man because of his body, and God because of his eminent position; I believe in one, namely the man and the Son of God; one by essence, which is never separated by division.
