About this text A 4th-century bishop defends the Trinity: three persons, one God, one in glory and worship.
It says there is one glorification of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and one worship.
The seraphim cry "Holy, holy, holy," and in that cry they glorify the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit together. The citations use the old names of the biblical books.
