Distinction between Created and Begotten
To bring forth. For if it is a creature, then it is not begotten; but if it is begotten, it is not a creature; since nature cannot turn toward the same thing in either way. Everything having a beginning receives an end, and everything receiving an end is subject to decay.
Greek
προφέρειν. 57 Εἰ γὰρ κτιστὸς οὐκ ἄρα γεννητός· εἰ δὲ γεννητὸς, οὐ κτιστός· ἐπεὶ μηδὲ οἷόν τε περὶ τὴν αὐτὴν φύσιν ἑκάτερον στρέφεσθαι τὸ γένος. 58 Πᾶν τὸ ἀρχὴν ἔχον καὶ τέλος ἐπιδέχεται, πᾶν τὸ τέλος ἐπιδεχόμενον φθορᾶς ἐστιν δεκτικόν.
