<blockquote>Firman itu telah menjadi manusia, dan diam di antara kita, dan kita telah melihat kemuliaan-Nya, yaitu kemuliaan yang diberikan kepada-Nya sebagai Anak Tunggal Bapa, penuh kasih karunia dan kebenaran... Tidak seorangpun yang pernah melihat Allah; tetapi Anak Tunggal Allah, yang ada di pangkuan Bapa, Dialah yang menyatakan-Nya.</blockquote>

Further, the accusative implication that the word ''Trinity'' gained common use apart from careful and pious fidelity to scripture may be associated with [[ad hominem]] argumentation. Hippolytus described his own response to Noetus' doctrine, claiming the truth to be more evident than either of the two mutually opposed views of [[Arianism]] and Sabellianism : <blockquote>In this way, then, they choose to set forth these things, and they make use only of one class of passages; just in the same one-sided manner that Theodotus employed when he sought to prove that Christ was a mere man. But neither has the one party nor the other understood the matter rightly, as the Scriptures themselves confute their senselessness, and attest the truth. See, brethren, what a rash and audacious dogma they have introduced... For who will not say that there is one God? Yet he will not on that account deny the economy [i.e., the number and disposition of persons in the Trinity]. The proper way, therefore, to deal with the question is first of all to refute the interpretation put upon these passages by these men, and then to explain their real meaning.<ref name="Against the Heresy of Noetus"/></blockquote>
Tertullian said of Praxeas' followers:<blockquote>For, confuted on all sides on the distinction between the Father and the Son, which we maintain without destroying their inseparable union... they endeavour to interpret this distinction in a way which shall nevertheless tally with their own opinions: so that, all in one Person, they distinguish two, Father and Son, understanding the Son to be flesh, that is man, that is Jesus; and the Father to be spirit, that is God, that is Christ. Thus they, while contending that the Father and the Son are one and the same, do in fact begin by dividing them rather than uniting them.”<ref name="Against Praxeas">{{cite web|last1=Tertullian|first1=of Carthage|title=Against Praxeas|url=https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf03.v.ix.xxvii.html|website=Christian Classics Ethereal Library|access-date=29 May 2017}}</ref></blockquote>
