The Philosopher 77 be from Him, and who has given the power to all to remain in this goodness, some as much as they wish, others as much as they can. That is why it is fitting for us to worship and hold to, along with the Father and the Son, this Gift of God, equally unchangeable. [Thus,] a Trinity of one substance, the one God from whom we exist, through whom we exist, in whom we exist; the one God whom we fell away from, whom we have made ourselves unlike, but who has not allowed us to perish; the Source to whom we are running back and the Form after whom we are following and the Grace by whom we are reconciled; the One by whose authority we are founded, and His Likeness through whom we are formed into unity, and His Peace in whom we cling to unity; the God who said, "Let there be" (Gn 1:3), and the Word through whom everything that was made was naturally and substantially made, and the Gift of His kindness by whom whatever was made by Him through the Word not be left to perish but prove pleasing and be reconciled to its Author; one God by whose creating we live, by whose reforming we live wisely, by whose loving and enjoyment we live happily and blessedly; the one God from whom are all things, through whom are all things, in whom are all things, to Him be glory forever and ever. Amen.66
