Council of Ephesus 431 AD: This is the account of the true faith everywhere
professed.
So shall we find that the holy fathers believed. So have they dared to call the
holy virgin, Mother of God, not as though the nature of the Word or his
godhead received the origin of their being from the holy virgin, but because
there was born from her His holy body rationally ensouled, with which the Word
was hypostatically united and is said to have been begotten in the flesh. These
things I write out of love in Christ exhorting you as a brother and calling
upon you before Christ and the elect angels, to hold and teach these things
with us, in order to preserve the peace of the churches and that the priests of
God may remain in an unbroken bond of concord and love.
