Единоначалие

There are three ancient opinions about God: anarchy, plurality and unity of command. The first two were (and let them remain!) a game of the mind of the sons of Hellenism. For the absence of beginning is disorderly, and the plurality of beginnings is outrageous, as a result of which it is both without beginning and disorderly. Both lead to one end - to disorder, and disorder - to destruction, because disorder is an exercise in destruction. But we honor unity of command, however, not that unity of command that is determined by the unity of a person (and one, if it is at odds with itself, will form a multitude), but that which constitutes the equivalence of unity, the unanimity of the will, the identity of the movement and direction towards the one Those (we are talking about the Trinity) who are from the One (which is impossible in a created nature), so that They, although they differ in number, are not divided in power 74 (1).
According to some lists, as Elijah notes, instead of the word “by power” (τ ή έ ζ ουί α), it was read “by essence” ( τή γε οὐαία).
