Maximus’ adoption of such a strategy is clarified by his distinction of a divine power and human energy (Ad Thomam 5.127–133): εἰ δὲ τούτων λόγος οὐδείς, εὐσεβῶς ὁµολογεῖσθαι χρὴ τάς τε τοῦ Χριστοῦ φύσεις ὧν αὐτὸς ὑπόστασις ἦν, καὶ τὰς αὐτοῦ φυσικὰς ἐνεργείας ὧν αὐτὸς ἕνωσις ἦν ἀληθὴς κατ’ ἄµφω τὰς φύσεις, εἴπερ ἑαυτῷ προσφυῶς, µοναδικῶς ἤγουν ἑνο- ειδῶς ἐνεργῶν, καὶ διὰ πάντων ἀχωρίστως τῇ θεϊκῇ δυνάµει συνεκφαίνων τῆς οἰκείας σαρκὸς τὴν ἐνέργειαν.	cache/grbs-13971.pdf	txt/grbs-13971.txt
