" "The Word was not hedged in by being present elsewhere as well. When He moved His body He did not cease also to direct the universe by His Mind and might. No. The marvelous truth is, that being the Word, so far from being Himself contained by anything, He actually contained all things Himself.

Additional quotes by Athanasius of Alexandria
Surely it would have been better never to have been created at all than, having been created, to be neglected and perish; and, besides that, such indifference to the ruin of His own work before His very eyes would argue not goodness in God but limitation, and that far more than if He had never created men at all. It was impossible, therefore, that God should leave man to be carried off by corruption, because it would be unfitting and unworthy of Himself.

ولأنه صالحٌ[109]، بل وصلاحه فائق، فقد خَلَق بكلمته الذاتي[110]- مخلِّصِنا يسوع المسيح- الجنسَ البشريَّ على حسب صورته الذاتية، خلقه كشبهه حتى يستطيع أن يُدرك ويعرف الموجودات، وأعطاه الإمكانية أن يُدرك ويعرف معنى أزليَّة الله حتى أنه إن احتفظ بهبة أنه مخلوق كشبه الله[111] لا يبتعد بالمرَّة عن تصوُّره الصحيح عن الله أو أن يهجر شركة الحياة مع القديسين. بل إذ لديه النعمة الموهوبة له، وعنده القوَّة الذَّاتية لكلمة الله يستطيع أن يبتهج ويكون له حوار مع الله ويحيا حياةَ الخلود بغير ألم في سعادة [112]حقيقية. وإذ لا يوجد ما يعوق[113] معرفته عن ما هو إلهي فإنه يرى باستمرار- من خلال نقاوة قلبه[114] - صورة الآب أي كلمة الله الذي خُلِق هو نفسه على صورته[115]، ويدهش عندما يتأمل في عناية كلمة الله بالعالم[116]
