“And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
On this verse:
“(de Trin. iii. 11.) He witnesses that He is His Son not in name merely, but in very kindred. Sons of God are we many of us; but not as He is a Son, a proper and true Son, in verity, not in estimation, by birth, not adoption.”
