Fragment VII.

But if it (the flesh) did not become of like nature with that (the deity), neither shall it ever become of like natural energy with that; that He may not be shown to have His energy unequal with His nature, and heterogeneous, and, through all that pertains to Himself, to have entered on an existence outside of His natural equality and identity,52    φυσικῆς ἔξω γεγονὼς ἰσότητος καὶ ταυτόητος. which is an impious supposition.

Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ λόγου. ζʹ. Εἰ δὲ τῆς αὐτῆς αὐτῷ μὴ γέγονε φύσεως, οὐδὲ τῆς αὐτῆς αὐτῷ ποτε γενήσεται φυσικῆς ἐνεργείας, ἵνα μὴ δειχθῇ τῇ φύσει τὴν ἐνέργειαν ἄνισον ἔχων καὶ ἀκατάλληλον καὶ τῆς αὐτοῦ δι' ὅλων τῶν ἑαυτοῦ φυσικῆς ἔξω γεγονὼς ἰσότητος καὶ ταυτότητος, ὅπερ ἀσεβές.
