God and his Son, from whom eternally and without time, and without flow and without passion, he was begotten; and his all-holy and life-giving Spirit, which from the Father, as from a source, is eternally and primordially brought forth and proceeds, and through him gushes forth and wells up essentially and subsistently, and is brought forth and dispensed; the one uncreated power, and unending kingdom, and immortal life and blessedness, which may we all attain, and not, turning away from the right path, fall into mountains and wildernesses and chasms, and places which the light of the countenance of the Master does not look upon, to whom be glory and majesty for ever and ever. Amen.
