72 I.e., use this as evidence for their heretical views. 73 I.e., it is true that heretics may misconstrue the interpretation
of óðê í¾¼ò—but only temporarily—for the response to them follows. 74 îêþë−î is the plural form, whereas êþë−î is
singular. 75 îòôñ®ë cannot be interpreted as in our image for that would imply the image of the angels, and man was
not created in their image. This applies as well to îò−³îôð×. 76 îôñ®ë could not possibly mean in God’s form, for this
would be redundant with î³îê êþë ó−šñê óñ®ë—in God’s form did He create him.
