Not the man alone needing Spirit; same one receives and gives

But if they say that the human from woman, taken apart and privately — or by himself alone — has needed a share in the Spirit, how is he himself the one who baptizes in it? And yet it fits the highest nature alone also to be able to show those approaching it as having shared in the Spirit. But if the same one receives and gives, it is clear that this is according to the accounts of the economy with flesh, and insofar as he is by nature and truly God: he receives in a human way — not rather for himself, but for human nature — procuring it through himself and in himself first; and he gives in a divine way from his own nature, putting it into those worthy to receive.

So as often as Christ may be said to be sanctified, or to receive the Spirit, it befits to understand in this very manner. For it is better to be pious by turning the mind of the holy writings skillfully toward what is blameless, than to go against the rocks, unholily fortifying against Christ’s glory what has been said rightly.
