Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching
St Irenaeus of Lyons, tr. Robinson, 1920
Chapter 52
That Christ, then, being Son of God before all the world, is with the Father; and being with the Father1 is also nigh and close and joined unto mankind; and is King of all, because the Father has subjected all things unto Him; and Saviour of them that believe on Him—such things do the Scriptures declare. For it is not feasible and possible to enumerate every scripture in order; and from these you may understand the others also which have been spoken in like manner, believing in Christ, and seeking understanding and comprehension from God, so as to understand what has been spoken by the prophets.
Notes
- The construction of the Arm. is uncertain, but the general sense is plain. The preposition “with” in the first place seems to represent σύν, in the second place πρός.
