man, since he is both soul and body.” And again we say: God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, and man is Peter and man is Paul. 51 A hypostasis is so-and-so and so-and-so, Peter and Paul, and Peter is not Paul nor is Paul Peter, but another and another, and two and not one, even if they share in one nature, nor are Peter and Andrew one, but two, even if they share in one nature and the same father and the same mother and the same grace and dignity; for nothing can make one son except the identity of the hypostasis. 52 Just as *ousia* and nature are the same thing among the holy fathers, so also hypostasis and person are the same thing. 53 Is the only-begotten and pre-eternal Son of God and the son of the virgin of one nature or two? Of one hypostasis or two? One will of divinity and humanity, or two, one and another? One energy of divinity and humanity, or two, one and another? Is natural sonship and sonship by grace one, or one and another? Is the son of the virgin a servant of God? Is servitude and lordship one dignity, or one and another? They spat in the face of the only-begotten and pre-eternal Son, but into what face? When Gabriel was sent and spoke to the virgin on behalf of God, was his person and God's one person? If there is one and another nature, and one and another will, and one and another energy, and one and another hypostasis, and one <and another> sonship, and one <and another> dignity, and one and another person, how are there not two sons? 54 It is necessary to guard these things in every way: That the divinity is impassible and immutable, in God three worshipped hypostases, and to believe in the Trinity and be baptized, and not to worship the creation, and to keep the Holy Scripture, both the Old and the New, in harmony.

ἄνθρωπος, ἐπεὶ καὶ ψυχὴ καὶ σῶμα» . Καὶ πάλιν λέγομεν· Θεὸς ὁ πατὴρ καὶ θεὸς ὁ υἱὸς καὶ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὁ Πέτρος καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὁ Παῦλος. 51 Ὑπόστασίς ἐστιν ὁ δεῖνα καὶ ὁ δεῖνα, Πέτρος καὶ ὁ Παῦλος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Πέτρος Παῦλος οὐδὲ ὁ Παῦλος Πέτρος, ἀλλὰ ἄλλος καὶ ἄλλος καὶ δύο καὶ οὐχ εἷς, κἂν κοινωνῶσι μιᾶς φύσεως, οὐδὲ Πέτρος καὶ Ἀνδρέας ἐστὶν εἷς, ἀλλὰ δύο, κἂν κοινωνῶσι μιᾶς φύσεως καὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῆς αὐτῆς μητρὸς καὶ τῆς αὐτῆς χάριτος καὶ ἀξίας· οὐδὲν γὰρ δύναται ἕνα υἱὸν ποιῆσαι εἰ μὴ τὸ ταυτὸν τῆς ὑποστάσεως. 52 Ὥσπερ οὐσία καὶ φύσις ταυτόν ἐστι παρὰ τοῖς ἁγίοις πατράσιν, οὕτω καὶ ὑπόστασις καὶ πρόσωπον ταυτόν ἐστι. 53 Μιᾶς φύσεως ὁ μονογενὴς καὶ προαιώνιος υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παρθένου ἢ δύο; Μιᾶς ὑποστάσεως ἢ δύο; Μία θέλησις θεότητος καὶ ἀνθρωπότητος ἢ δύο, ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη; Μία ἐνέργεια θεότητος καὶ ἀνθρωπότητος ἢ δύο, ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη; Φυσικὴ υἱότης καὶ κατὰ χάριν υἱότης μία ἐστὶν ἢ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη; ∆οῦλος τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς παρθένου; ∆ουλεία καὶ δεσποτεία μία ἀξία ἢ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη; Εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ μονογενοῦς καὶ προαιωνίου υἱοῦ ἐνέπτυσαν, ἀλλ' εἰς ποῖον πρόσωπον; Ὅτε ὁ Γαβριὴλ ἀπεστάλη καὶ ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ διελέγετο τῇ παρθένῳ, ἓν πρόσωπον ἦν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ θεοῦ; Εἰ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη φύσις καὶ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη θέλησις καὶ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη ἐνέργεια καὶ ἄλλη καὶ ἄλλη ὑπόστασις καὶ ἄλλη <καὶ ἄλλη> υἱότης καὶ ἄλλη <καὶ ἄλλη> ἀξία καὶ ἄλλο καὶ ἄλλο πρόσωπον, πῶς οὐ δύο υἱοί; 54 Χρὴ ταῦτα πάντως φυλάξαι· Ἀπαθῆ τὴν θεότητα καὶ ἄτρεπτον, ἐπὶ τοῦ θεοῦ τρεῖς προσκυνουμένας ὑποστάσεις καὶ εἰς τριάδα πιστεύειν καὶ βαπτίζεσθαι καὶ μὴ λατρεύειν τῇ κτίσει καὶ φυλάξαι σύμφωνον τὴν ἁγίαν γραφὴν τήν τε παλαιὰν καὶ τὴν καινήν.
