Heads of the scripture catena; Rom 1:1–4 begins
These things are in what follows.
That Christ is God, the assumed temple also ascending into his glory by union with God the Word — from the apostolic writings.
Selections from the Catholic Epistles on the same.
Selections from the Gospels on the same.
That Christ is life and life-giver, from what stands in the Apostle Paul; you will also find it in the apostolic writings.
That faith toward Christ is as toward God, from the Catholic Epistles and from the Gospels.
That Christ is life and propitiation — various selections.
That Christ’s death is saving for the world — selections from the apostolic writings and the Gospels.
That Christ is God, the assumed temple also ascending into his glory by union with God the Word.
From Romans.
“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy writings concerning his Son, who was born from the seed of David according to the flesh, who was appointed Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness from the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 1:1–4)
So then: if the proclamation about Christ is God’s gospel, how is Christ not God? And if every prophecy looks to its end in him, and the writings proclaim the one from David’s seed as Son of God — even when he is said to be appointed according to the Spirit of holiness because of the mystery of becoming human —
