Here it says begotten of the Father, but before all ages. So there was always a time when there was a Son. Light of light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made. So once again, really addressing this Arian controversy, the Arian heresy as it becomes known, that the Father and the Son are of the same essence. One is not more divine than the other. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And the third day he rose again, according to the scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father.
