De Filio (Orat. 30)

1. 5. 3 om θέω e || 11 Χριστος] ο χρ. bdf
2. 5. The text speaks of the subjec- of the Son. It speaks of Him in us, or of us in Him. When we are wholly subject, then Christ, our becomes subject, and not before. And so far from our language implying that the Son at at present in α state of rebellion, it is He who brings about our sztbjectiou. So also when He cries Why hast Thou for- saken Me ? it is we who speak in His person .
3. 1. σύναπτε] ‘ Connect with this.’
4. 2. τί, ληεις, ὡς] The words are those of the Eunomian, from τί to τὸν λόγον ; unless perh. the first question, τί λέγεις, is addressed to the Eunomian, in the sense, ‘ Why do you speak as if we made out that ’etc. The Catholic, of course, following St Paul, spoke of a future ’subjection’ of the Son to the Fation ther. The Eunomian, who wished to make out that the ’s position is always and necessarily a subHead, ordinate one, as being that of a creature, retorted, ’What? is He not subject now, but requires to be reduced to subjection, — although you make Him out to be God ? Such language is only suitable to a robber, or to a rival claimant of the Godhead.’
