  3 3 |         than on the sound of the word. Now you must understand
  4 5 |          EVOLUTION OF THE SON OR WORD OF GOD FROM THE FATHER BY
  5 5 |     which term we also designate Word or Discourse and therefore
  6 5 |        the term, to say that the Word was in the beginning with
  7 5 |     ancient; because God had not Word from the beginning, but
  8 5 |          beginning; because also Word itself consists of Reason,
  9 5 |         had not yet sent out His Word, He still had Him within
 10 5 |       about to utter through His Word. Now, whilst He was thus
 11 5 |  actually causing that to become Word which He was dealing with
 12 5 |       dealing with in the way of Word or Discourse. And that you
 13 5 |           which meets you with a word at every movement of your
 14 5 |   Whatever you think, there is a word; whatever you conceive,
 15 5 |       holding converse with your word, you are (by reciprocal
 16 5 |          that converse with your word. Thus, in a certain sense,
 17 5 |          in a certain sense, the word is a second person within
 18 5 |        you generate thought. The word is itself a different thing
 19 5 |      involved in that Reason His Word! I may therefore without
 20 5 |          inherent in Reason, His Word, which He made second to
 21 6 |                          VI. THE WORD OF GOD IS ALSO THE WISDOM
 22 6 |    Wisdom than the Reason or the Word of God? Listen therefore
 23 6 |          His Wisdom's Reason and Word, He first put forth the
 24 6 |           He first put forth the Word Himself, having within Him
 25 7 |          SON BY BEING DESIGNATED WORD AND WISDOM, (ACCORDING TO
 26 7 |        Then, therefore, does the Word also Himself assume His
 27 7 |          perfect nativity of the Word, when He proceeds forth

 29 7 |          things were made by the Word, and without Him was there
 30 7 |      place (it is said), "By His word were the heavens established,
 31 7 |         Nature) which was in the Word: thus is it evident that
 32 7 |     under the appellation of the Word, which was initiated for
 33 7 |          if it were not the very Word Himself, who is spoken of
 34 7 |         you ask,) grant that the Word is a certain substance,
 35 7 |         and the Son, God and the Word. For you will say, what
 36 7 |          you will say, what is a word, but a voice and sound of
 37 7 |         and empty thing. Is that Word of God, then, a void and
 38 7 |          is designated God? "The Word was with God, and the Word
 39 7 |       Word was with God, and the Word was God." It is written, "
 40 7 |         was the substance of the Word that I designate a Person,
 41 8 |          VIII. THOUGH THE SON OR WORD OF GOD EMANATES FROM THE
 42 8 |         own counterfeit. Was the Word of God put forth or not?
 43 8 |       uses a given thing and the word which expresses it. Valentinus
 44 8 |        which is in Him?" But the Word was formed by the Spirit,
 45 8 |        Spirit is the body of the Word. The Word, therefore, is
 46 8 |        the body of the Word. The Word, therefore, is both always
 47 8 |        what is written, "And the Word was with God;" and never
 48 8 |           For God sent forth the Word, as the Paraclete also declares,
 49 8 |       more is (this true of) the Word of God, who has actually
 50 8 |         sun; nor, indeed, is the Word separated from God. Following,
 51 8 |          that I call God and His Word the Father and His Son two.
 52 11|        we prove that He made His Word a Son to Himself. For if
 53 11|        other Himself, and if the Word has proceeded from the Father
 54 11|        emitted my most excellent Word," so you in like manner
 55 11|         as my own most excellent Word," in such a sense that He
 56 11|      forth, since He is both the Word and God. I bid you also
 57 11|          and a tamperer with His word, if, when He was Himself
 58 12|         a second Person, His own Word, and a third Person also,
 59 12|          also, the Spirit in the Word, that He purposely adopted
 60 12|    Immediately there appears the Word, "that true light, which
 61 12|   creation to be effected in the Word, Christ being present and
 62 12|       the former ones I mean the Word of God. "through whom all
 63 12|        to John, (who says.) "The Word was God," then you have
 64 13|         In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
 65 13|  beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
 66 13|       Word was with God, and the Word was God." There was One "
 67 13|        substance, as God and His Word, as the Father and the Son.~
 68 14|      also invisible as being the Word, and as being also the Spirit;
 69 14|          that He is God, and the Word and Spirit of God; but that
 70 14|          and enigma, because the Word and Spirit (of God) cannot
 71 15|        His incarnation, even the Word who was also made flesh;
 72 15|     Father, even Him to whom the Word belongs? Let us, in short,
 73 15|       hands have handled, of the Word of life." Now the Word of
 74 15|       the Word of life." Now the Word of life became flesh, and
 75 15|      came in the flesh, was the "Word in the beginning with God"
 76 15|          not the Father with the Word. For although the Word was
 77 15|       the Word. For although the Word was God, yet was He with
 78 15|          as he had said that the Word of God was God, in order
 79 15|       What God does he mean? The Word? But he has already said: "
 80 15|       our hands have handled the Word of life." Well, (I must
 81 15|        Father, with whom was the Word, the only begotten Son,
 82 15|         Son of God, which is the Word of God, is visible, because
 83 16|           From the beginning the Word was with God, and the Word
 84 16|       Word was with God, and the Word was God;" to whom "is given

 86 17|      Almighty, in that He is the Word of Almighty God, and has
 87 19|          made by God through the Word, without whom nothing was
 88 19|     which it is written: "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens
 89 19|         by His Spirit." Now this Word, the Power of God and the
 90 19|          alone,'' because by the Word were the heavens established.
 91 19|        Wisdom was present in the Word, and since all things were
 92 19|          things were made by the Word, it is quite correct to
 93 19|          all futurity I AM." The Word, no doubt, was before all
 94 19|         In the beginning was the Word;" and in that beginning
 95 21|         In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
 96 21|  beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
 97 21|       Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning
 98 21|      whom He always was: one the Word of God, the other God although
 99 21|       the other God although the Word is also God, but God regarded
100 21|         same as He from whom the Word came. "His glory was beheld
101 21|          that it was through the Word of the Father that men were
102 22|       understand when to speak a word in season." In accordance
103 23|       when I ought to speak" the word which I actually speak. "
104 23|          not the Father, but the Word of the Father, who was in
105 23|          by the divine power and word. "And God," says He, "shall
106 24|        after so long a time in a word, as the Son. And now it
107 25|        to the Father, and as the Word to God? Wherefore also does
108 26|          must be the same as the Word. For just as, when John
109 26|         as, when John says, "The Word was made flesh," we understand
110 26|       also in the mention of the Word: so here, too, we acknowledge
111 26|          too, we acknowledge the Word likewise in the name of
112 26|          is the substance of the Word, and the Word is the operation
113 26|   substance of the Word, and the Word is the operation of the
114 26|         if the Spirit is not the Word, and the Word the Spirit.
115 26|         is not the Word, and the Word the Spirit. For just as
116 26|          Spirit. For just as the Word of God is not actually He
117 26|         is not actually He whose Word He is, so also the Spirit (
118 26|       the Spirit is God, and the Word is God, because proceeding
119 26|       the Spirit of God, and the Word and the Power having been
120 27| previously advanced, because the Word of God or the Spirit of
121 27|       Person was born in it? The Word, and the Spirit which became
122 27|        became incarnate with the Word by the will of the Father.
123 27|          will of the Father. The Word, therefore, is incarnate;
124 27|          of our inquiry: How the Word became flesh, whether it
125 27|       thing than what He is. The Word is God, and "the Word of
126 27|        The Word is God, and "the Word of the Lord remaineth for
127 27|      thus understood. For if the Word became flesh by a transfiguration
128 27|          He has ceased to be the Word, which was made flesh; nor
129 27|       and it was flesh which the Word became. Being compounded,
130 27|        property, inasmuch as the Word is nothing else but God,
131 27|          He will be God, and the Word the Son of God. We see plainly
132 27|          supposition, either the Word underwent death, or the
133 27|        did not die, if so be the Word was converted into flesh;
134 27|       flesh was immortal, or the Word was modal. Forasmuch, however,
135 27|          as we find that as "the Word was God," so also there
136 27|            so also there is "the Word of God."~
137 29|         being the Spirit and the Word and the Son of God. In short,
138 29|         which was anointed; in a word, the flesh. Very well, say
139 30|        to say, of man not of the Word and Spirit, that is to say,
