12. In the beginning was the Word. [734] But that was not the Word which produced the Word. [735] For "the Word was with God." [736] The Lord is Wisdom; it was not therefore Wisdom that produced Wisdom; for "I was that" says He, "wherein He delighted." [737] Christ is truth; but "blessed," says He, "is the God of truth."
