But he is the God of those who are improved; as we read now, "I am thy God, I am thy God, be thou increased and multiplied." ¹And in the case of those who are perfect, he is both together, both Lord and God; as we read in the ten commandments, "I am the Lord thy ²³⁴⁵⁶ God." ⁷ And in another passage it is written, "The Lord God of our fathers." ⁸

(Gen. 35,11), τελείων δὲ ἀμφότερον, κύριος ὁμοῦ καὶ θεός, ὡς ἐν δέκα λόγοις· „ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεός σου“ (Exod. 20, 2) καὶ ἑτέρωθι·
