《CONTRA ARIANOS》 2:7
that having renewed it as its creator, he might deify it in himself, and thus might bring us all into the kingdom of heaven in his likeness. For man would not have been deified if he had been united with a creature, or if the Son had not been true God, nor would man have been brought into the Father‘s presence unless he who had put on the body had been his natural and true Words… so also man would not have been deified unless the Word who became flesh had been by nature from the Father and true and proper to him. For that is why the union was of this kind, that he might unite what is naturally man to what is naturally of the Godhead, and his salvation and deification be made sure.
。。。作為造物者，他（子）更新了它（基督的人性），好讓他能夠在他裡面神化它，並在他自己的形象里，將我們帶進天國。他若與一個被造之物聯合，或子（Son）不是真神，人就不可能被神化。除非披上的身體那位，從性質而言，就是道，人就不可能被帶入神的同在中。。。同樣的，除非成為肉身的道的性質是從父而來，也具有父的性質，人就不可能被神化。這就是為什麼（神與人的）聯合必須也是這樣的，好叫他將那性質是人的與那性質是神的聯合為一，才能夠保證他的救贖和神化的工作。
