Background on Pseudo-Athanasius
In his own words on Ephesians
- Ephesians 4:8
The Word was not in need and did not come into being, nor were humans able to give these gifts to themselves. But through the Word they have been given to us. For these reasons they were given to us after being given to him. For his purpose in becoming a man was that, having been given to him, they might be passed on to us.
