33 3,3| separately to the Word of God the name Christ and the
34 3,3| one Christ, the Word from God the Father with his own
35 3,3| not say that the Word of God dwelt in him as in a common
36 3,3| such a conjunction with God as consists in a unity(1)
37 3,3| do not call the Word of God the Father, the God nor
38 3,3| Word of God the Father, the God nor the Lord of Christ,

40 3,3| himself. For the Word of God, as we have said already,

45 3,3| became man and subject to God, according to the law suitable
46 3,3| how could he become the God or Lord of himself? Consequently
47 3,3| equally with us subject to God; thus he became under the
48 3,3| under the Law, although as God he spake the Law and was

61 3,3| recognize that he is the Word of God from his identity and likeness
62 3,3| believe that being by nature God, he became flesh, that is,

72 3,3| through his own Spirit is God according to nature. Therefore
73 3,3| brought forth corporally God made one with flesh according

78 3,4| that the Emmanuel is very God, and that therefore the
79 3,4| Virgin is the Mother of God (Qeotokos), inasmuch as
80 3,4| flesh she bore the Word of God made flesh [as it is written, "
81 3,4| that the Emmanuel is true God, and not rather God with
82 3,4| true God, and not rather God with us, that is, that he
83 3,4| calls Mary the mother of God the Word, and not rather
84 3,4| and if he maintains that God the Word has changed himself
85 3,4| woman and dwelt with us, is God: the other, that Mary who
86 3,4| such an one is Mother of God. That Christ is God is clearly
87 3,4| Mother of God. That Christ is God is clearly proved from the
88 3,4| the beginning the Son of God, afterwards took flesh and
89 3,4| simple and bare man, but of God the Word, not in that he
90 3,4| Word, not in that he was God, but in that he had taken
91 3,4| he had taken flesh. For God the Father was the parent
92 3,4| does Nestorianism, that a God indwelt a man with a human
93 3,4| personality of the indwelling god; and that God assumed to
94 3,4| indwelling god; and that God assumed to himself human
95 3,4| with the relation between God and every saint, or, indeed,
96 3,4| and that "My Lord and my God" was a doxology to the Father;
97 3,4| of three months old was God." ~It is no part of my duty
98 3,4| from Mary the Mother of God (ek ths Qeotokou Marias
99 3,4| born of Mary, the Mother of God, so we say that he, the
100 3,4| Christotocos) but not the mother of God (Theotocos). Only figuratively,
101 3,4| Theotocos also, because God was in Christ in a remarkable
102 3,4| not yet called the Son of God." And in another place he
