to the prophets, in these last days has spoken to us in a Son. And elsewhere it says, that the Son speaks: If you seek proof, it says, of Christ speaking in me. But the Son said it was the Spirit who speaks in the apostles, When, he says, they deliver you up to the councils, do not be anxious how or what you are to speak; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to speak. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. And at one time the Apostle says that the bodies of the faithful are a temple of the Holy Spirit, at another that their members are members of Christ, at another that they themselves are a temple of the Father: For you, he says, are the temple of the living God, as God said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people; and, If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him. And again: Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Holy Spirit dwells in you? For if anyone is a temple of the Spirit, this one is a temple of the Son and of the Father; for where the Spirit of God dwells, there God dwells. And, As the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. Similarly also concerning the Spirit it says that It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail. And to the Corinthians Paul writes: But the Spirit gives life. You see that whatever are works of the Father, these Scripture says are of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; as also the Apostle taught, saying: Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of 1009 services, and the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. Having said, therefore, that the Father is the one who empowers all things in everyone, a little later he says that the Holy Spirit is the one empowering all things in everyone. All these, he says, are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. And when the blessed Paul teaches concerning the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance, David says the Lord is the inheritance: For the Lord, he says, is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup. And elsewhere he says: I cried to you, O Lord; I said, You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living. But Jeremiah says that He who formed all things, he is the inheritance of Jacob, the Lord is his name. Therefore, while the prophets say the Lord is the inheritance of the saints, Paul said the Holy Spirit is the inheritance: In whom, he says, also having believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance; as also the face of Moses was sealed with the Holy Spirit when he received the law from God, and none of the sons of Israel could gaze at him; for the light of the Lord's face was marked upon him; as also it is written in the Gospel: Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. For God is light; and similarly also the Son is light, because he is of the same substance of the true light, as also Isaiah says: And the light of Israel will be as a fire, and will sanctify him in a burning flame. And in the Gospel John the Baptist says concerning the Lord: He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. And elsewhere it speaks of the Lord who sanctifies. I am the Lord who sanctifies them. And when Scripture calls God fire: Our God is a consuming fire, similarly it also speaks concerning the Holy Spirit: that there appeared to the apostles tongues as of fire, distributed, and rested on each one of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. For as many as bear the Spirit of God, bear light; and those who bear light are clothed with Christ; and those clothed with Christ have put on the Father. For this 1012 corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. For those who bear the Spirit of God bear incorruption; and incorruption is God. And when David says: Many are saying, "Who will show us some good?" concerning the Holy Spirit

προφήταις, ἐπ' ἐσχάτου τοῦ ἡμερῶν τούτων ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν Υἱῷ. Καὶ ἀλλαχοῦ λέγει, ὅτι ὁ Υἱὸς λαλεῖ· Εἰ δοκιμὴν, φησὶ, ζητεῖτε τοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ λαλοῦντος Χριστοῦ. Ὁ δὲ Υἱὸς τὸ Πνεῦμα εἶπε τὸ λαλοῦν ἐν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις, Ὅταν, φησὶ, παραδώσουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς συνέδρια, μὴ μεριμνήσητε, πῶς, ἢ τί λαλήσητε· δοθήσεται γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, τί λαλήσητε. Οὐ γὰρ ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ λαλοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Πατρὸς ὑμῶν, τὸ λαλοῦν ἐν ὑμῖν. Καὶ ὁτὲ μὲν ὁ Ἀπόστολος λέγει, ὅτι τὰ σώματα τῶν πιστῶν ναός ἐστι τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος, ὁτὲ δὲ τὰ μέλη αὐτῶν μέλη Χριστοῦ, ὁτὲ δὲ αὐτοὺς ναὸν εἶναι τοῦ Πατρός· Ὑμεῖς γὰρ, φησὶ, ναός ἐστε Θεοῦ ζῶντος, καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· Ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς Θεὸς, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μου λαός· καὶ, Εἴ τις φθείρῃ τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός. Καὶ πάλιν· Οὐκ οἴδατε, ὅτι ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστε, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ ἅγιον οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν; Εἴ τις γάρ ἐστι ναὸς τοῦ Πνεύματος, οὗτος ναός ἐστι τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Πατρός· ὅπου γὰρ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ κατοικεῖ, ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεὸς κατοικεῖ. Καὶ, Ὥσπερ ὁ Πατὴρ ἐγείρει τοὺς νεκροὺς καὶ ζωοποιεῖ, οὕτως καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς οὓς θέλει ζωοποιεῖ. Ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ περὶ τοῦ Πνεύματος λέγει, ὅτι Τὸ Πνεῦμά ἐστι τὸ ζωοποιοῦν, ἡ σὰρξ οὐκ ὠφελεῖ οὐδέν. Πρὸς δὲ Κορινθίους γράφει Παῦλος· Τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα ζωοποιεῖ. Ὁρᾷς, ὅτι ἅπερ ἐστὶν ἔργα τοῦ Πατρὸς, ταῦτα λέγει ἡ Γραφὴ τοῦ Υἱοῦ εἶναι, καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος· ὡς καὶ ὁ Ἀπόστολος ἐδίδαξε λέγων· ∆ιαιρέσεις δὲ χαρισμάτων εἰσὶ, τὸ δὲ Πνεῦμα τὸ αὐτό· καὶ διαιρέσεις δια 1009 κονιῶν εἰσι, καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Κύριος· καὶ διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων εἰσὶν, ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς Θεὸς ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσι. Εἰρηκὼς οὖν, ὅτι ὁ Πατήρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσι, καὶ μετ' ὀλίγον λέγει τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα εἶναι τὸ ἐνεργοῦν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσι. Πάντα δὲ ταῦτα, φησὶν, ἐνεργεῖ τὸ ἓν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ Πνεῦμα, διαιροῦν ἴδια ἑκάστῳ, καθὼς βούλεται. Καὶ ὅτε μὲν ὁ μακάριος Παῦλος διδάσκει περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος, ὅτι ἀῤῥαβὼν τῆς κληρονομίας ἐστὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, ὁ ∆αβὶδ λέγει τὸν Κύριον εἶναι τὴν κληρονομίαν· Κύριος γὰρ, φησὶ, μερὶς τῆς κληρονομίας μου καὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου μου. Καὶ ἀλλαχοῦ λέγει· Ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σὲ, Κύριε, εἶπα, σὺ εἶ ἡ ἐλπίς μου, μερίς μου εἶ ἐν γῆ ζώντων. Ὁ δὲ Ἱερεμίας λέγει, ὅτι Ὁ πλάσας τὰ πάντα,αὐτὸς κληρονομία τοῦ Ἰακὼβ, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ. Τῶν οὖν προφητῶν τὸν Κύριον κληρονομίαν λεγόντων τῶν ἁγίων, ὁ Παῦλος τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα κληρονομίαν εἶναι εἶπεν· Ἐν ᾧ, φησὶ, καὶ πιστεύσαντες, ἐσφραγίσθητε τῷ Πνεύματι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῷ ἁγίῳ, ὅ ἐστιν ἀῤῥαβὼν τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν· ὡς καὶ Μωσῆς τὸ πρόσωπον ἐσφραγίσθη τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, ὅτε ἔλαβε νόμον παρὰ Θεοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἠδύνατο αὐτῷ ἀτενίσαι τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· ἐσημειώθη γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτὸν τὸ φῶς τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου· ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ γέγραπται· Τότε οἱ δίκαιοι ἐκλάμψουσιν ὡς ὁ ἥλιος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτῶν. Ὁ Θεὸς γὰρ φῶς ἐστιν· ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς φῶς ἐστι, διότι τῆς αὐτῆς οὐσίας ἐστὶ τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ φωτὸς, ὡς καὶ Ἡσαΐας λέγει· Καὶ ἔσται τὸ φῶς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ὡς πῦρ, καὶ ἁγιάσει αὐτὸν ἐν φλογὶ καιομένῃ. Ἐν δὲ τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ Ἰωάννης ὁ Βαπτιστὴς λέγει περὶ τοῦ Κυρίου· Αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν Πνεύματι ἁγίῳ καὶ πυρί. Ἀλλαχοῦ δὲ λέγει τὸν Κύριον τὸν ἁγιάζοντα. Ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς. Καὶ ὅτε τὸν Θεὸν καλεῖ πῦρ ἡ Γραφή· Ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν πῦρ καταναλίσκον, ὁμοίως καὶ περὶ τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου λέγει· ὅτι Ὤφθησαν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρὸς, ἐκάθισέ τε ἐφ' ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες Πνεύματος ἁγίου, καὶ ἤρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις, καθὼς τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἀποφθέγγεσθαι. Ὅσοι γὰρ Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ φοροῦσι, φῶς φοροῦσι· καὶ οἱ φοροῦντες φῶς Χριστόν εἰσιν ἐνδεδυμένοι· καὶ οἱ ἐνδεδυμένοι Χριστὸν Πατέρα ἐνδέδυνται. ∆εῖ γὰρ τὸ 1012 φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν, καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν. Οἱ γὰρ φοροῦντες τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀφθαρσίαν φοροῦσιν· ἀφθαρσία δέ ἐστιν ὁ Θεός. Καὶ ὅτε λέγει ∆αβίδ· Πολλοὶ λέγουσι, Τίς δείξει ἡμῖν τὰ ἀγαθά; περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος
