to him and the one showing him by his own appearance. 5.13 And just as through the Son all things were made, so by the Spirit all things were sanctified and strengthened. For the apostles say: “Lord, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them; who by the Holy Spirit, but the mouth of David your servant, an image.” And just as the only-begotten is signified as of equal power and like the Father and a ruler according to: “Whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner,” so also the Spirit of God according to: “But all these things one and the same Spirit works.” 5.14 And just as Christ said concerning himself: “no one has known the Father, except the Son,” so also concerning the Holy Spirit the like has been said, that: “the things of God no one has known, except the Spirit of God.” And in the way the Son was called the angelic, “angel of great counsel”; so also concerning the Holy Spirit; for it says: “But we have received the Spirit of God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God.” 5.15 And most similar to: “Christ the firstfruits,” is the saying which states: “and having the firstfruits of the Spirit.” And of equal weight to: “And may the Lord sanctify you, that you may be sincere and without offense unto the day of redemption,” is: “that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified in the Holy Spirit.” And of equal balance to the saying: “he who set me apart from my mother's womb, through his grace to reveal his Christ in me,” is: “God revealed it through his Spirit.” 5.16 And of equal power to the saying: “Test yourselves, whether Christ is in you,” is to say: “But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit of God.” And equal is: “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?” to that written by John: “if we love one another, God abides in you. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, from his Spirit, which he has given us,” and to: “We will come, I and the Father, and we will make our home with him.” 5.17 And just as through the Father and the Son the Holy Spirit is given according to: “I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh” and according to: “Receive the Holy Spirit;” so through the Holy Spirit Christ, according to Paul writing to the Ephesians: “that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell.” 5.18 And we might take in a like and equal way: “The word of the Lord came to this prophet” and: “the Lord said” and: “thus says the Lord Almighty” with that said by Peter in the Acts: “it was necessary for the scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold” and with that by Paul in Rome to the Jews: “Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet” and with: “But the Spirit expressly says” and: “thus says the Lord Almighty”. 5.19 And of equal honor to: “the eternal God” is that preached by Paul: “who offered himself through the eternal Spirit.” And comparable to: “no one is able to receive the Holy Spirit except from the Lord” and to: “Receive the Holy Spirit” is: “no one can say 'Jesus Christ is Lord', except in the Holy Spirit.” 5.20 And it is the same thing: “to be led by the Holy Spirit to the truth,” that is to be led by the Holy Spirit to the true faith, with being led by the Lord Christ who decrees: “baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” And of equal force to the saying that states: “Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?” is the writing: “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” And of similar wording to: “You will send forth your Spirit and they will be created” is: “You will send forth your Word, and it will melt them.” 5.21 And of equal contest to the saying: “the Lord is witness to my soul, that I do not lie” is the writing: “the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify concerning me;” and:
