That every man is not only naturally a sinner, but is wholly sin

A feast is approaching which is the most solemn and awe-inspiring of all feasts.... What is it? The birth of Christ according to the flesh. In this feast namely Epiphany, holy Easter, Ascension and Pentecost have their beginning and purpose. For if Christ hadn't been born according to the flesh, he wouldn't have been baptised, which is Epiphany. He wouldn't have been crucified, which is Easter. He wouldn't have sent the Spirit, which is Pentecost. So from this event, as from some spring, different rivers flow-these feasts of ours are born.Concerning Blessed Philogonius, in Mayer and Adam John Chrysostom, London:2000, p.191

The Holy Spirit is to be believed to be of the Father and of the Son. We say that this Holy Spirit is coequal to the Father and the Son proceeds from the Father and the Son. Believe this, lest evil talk corrupt good customs.
