Besides the foresaid way, the Holy Spirit is also in all who happened to gain the divine and indeed divinising name of Christ by their faith, not only as guarding and foreknowingly enlivening and moving the natural reason and showing the transgression or the keeping of the commands and announcing things foretold about Christ, but also as creative of the adoption, which was granted according to grace through faith. For, as generating wisdom, the Holy Spirit becomes only in those who have been cleaned in soul and body through the precise exercise of all the commands, speaking to them as relatives, through the simple and immaterial knowledge, and forming their mind according to the holy perceptions of the ineffable things, in order to divinise them.

Ἔστι δὲ πρὸς τοῖς εἰρημένοις τρόποις καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς τὸ θεῖον καὶ θεοποιὸν ὄντως ὄνομα τοῦ Χριστοῦ κληρωσαμένοις διὰ τῆς πίστεως οὐ μόνον ὡς φρουρητικὸν καὶ προνοητικῶς λόγου τοῦ κατὰ φύσιν ἀνακινητικὸν καὶ ὡς δεικτικὸν τῆς τῶν ἐντολῶν παραβάσεως καὶ φυλακῆς καὶ τῆς κατὰ Χριστὸν ἐξαγγελτικὸν προαγορεύσεως͵ ἀλλὰ καὶ ὡς δημιουργικὸν τῆς κατὰ χάριν διὰ τῆς πίστεως δοθείσης υἱοθεσίας. Ὡς γὰρ σοφίας ποιητικὸν ἐν μόνοις ἐκείνοις γίνεται τοῖς καὶ ψυχὴν καὶ σῶμα καθαρθεῖσι διὰ τῆς τῶν ἐντολῶν ἀκριβοῦς συνασκήσεως͵ ὡς οἰκείοις προσομιλοῦν διὰ τῆς ἁπλῆς καὶ ἀΰλου γνώσεως καὶ τὸν νοῦν αὐτῶν ταῖς ἀχράντοις τῶν ἀρρήτων νοήσεσι πρὸς ἐκθέωσιν ἐντυποῦν.
