2 Corinthians 13:5 (NRSV) — Theosis

Clement of Alexandria

Yea, I say, the Word of God became a man so that you might learn from a man how to become a god.

I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;”

He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
