When the Father says, “I am the one who is” (Exodus 3:14), clearly he is speaking through the Logos. For it is evident that whatever the Father says, he is always speaking through the Logos. This is also clearly seen in our own experience, to compare small matters to great and divine matters: for the same is true for us, that whatever we may want to say or to do, according to our ability, we do by means of our Logos.

Translated by Brandon Rogers under the supervision of Prof. Glen L. Thompson
