On Faith
Of Epiphanius of Cyprus, from the discourse On Faith.
And to show that he is "mediator of God and men" (1 Timothy 2:5), holding both in himself — from men his flesh, and from the Father his invisible essence — as God he speaks what is divine and befitting God, and as man the same one speaks what is human and befitting man, holding authority in both naturally and essentially, without confusion and without division, in a divine manner and in a human manner.
Greek
De fide ̓Επιφανίου Κύπρου ἐκ τοῦ περὶ πίστεως λόγου. Καὶ ἵνα δείξῃ, ὅτι "μεσίτης" ἐστὶ "θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων" τὰ ἀμφότερα ἔχων, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων μὲν τὴν σάρκα, ἐκ δὲ πατρὸς τὴν ἀόρατον οὐσίαν, λαλεῖ μὲν ὡς θεὸς τὰ θεῖα καὶ θεοπρεπῆ, ὡς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ὁ αὐτὸς τὰ ἀνθρώπινα καὶ ἀνθρωποπρεπῆ, ἔχων ἐν ἀμφοτέροις τὴν ἐξουσίαν φυσικῶς καὶ οὐσιωδῶς, ἀσυγχύτως καὶ ἀδιαιρέτως, θεϊκῶς τε καὶ ἀνθρωπίνως.
