Holy Scripture

Isaiah 48:18

A church father on this verse
“Set before yourself any river. It springs from its fountain but is of one nature, of one brightness and beauty. And you assert rightly that the Holy Spirit is of one substance, brightness and glory with the Son of God and with God the Father. I will sum up everything in the oneness of the qualities without any dispute…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — On the Holy Spirit 1.16.180-81
