Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus Quote

Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus Icon - PD-1923


There is a perfect Trinity, in glory and eternity and sovereignty, neither divided nor estranged. Wherefore there is nothing either created or in servitude in the Trinity; nor anything superinduced, as if at some former period it was non-existent, and at some later period it was introduced. And thus neither was the Son ever wanting to the Father, nor the Spirit to the Son; but without variation and without change, the same Trinity abideth ever.

Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus from a declaration of faith by him
