For the restraint which human laws could not effect, the Word, inasmuch as He is divine, would have effected . . . (First Apology 10)

. . . the Father of the universe has a Son; who also, being the first-begotten Word of God, is even God.  (First Apology 63)

For Christ is King, and Priest, and God, and Lord, and angel, and man, and captain, and stone, and a Son born, and first made subject to suffering, then returning to heaven, and again coming with glory, and He is preached as having the everlasting kingdom: so I prove from all the Scriptures. (Dialogue with Trypho 34)

‘Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.’' Accordingly, it is shown that Solomon is not the Lord of hosts; but when our Christ rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, the rulers in heaven, under appointment of God, are commanded to open the gates of heaven, that He who is King of glory may enter in, and having ascended, may sit on the right hand of the Father  . . . (Dialogue with Trypho 36)

. . . in the diapsalm of the forty-sixth Psalm, reference is thus made to Christ: 'God went up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.  (Dialogue with Trypho 37)

. . . He existed formerly as Son of the Maker of all things, being God, and was born a man by the Virgin. (Dialogue with Trypho 48)

I shall attempt to persuade you, since you have understood the Scriptures,[of the truth] of what I say, that there is, and that there is said to be, another God and Lord subject to the Maker of all things; who is also called an Angel, because He announces to men whatsoever the Maker of all things--above whom there is no other God--wishes to announce to them. (Dialogue with Trypho 50)

Reverting to the Scriptures, I shall endeavour to persuade you, that He who is said to have appeared to Abraham, and to Jacob, and to Moses, and who is called God, is distinct from Him who made all things,--numerically, I mean, not[distinct] in will.  (Dialogue with Trypho 56)

He is God begotten by God

God begat before all creatures a Beginning,[who was] a certain rational power[proceeding] from Himself, who is called  ... God, and then Lord and Logos; and on another occasion He calls Himself Captain, when He appeared in human form to Joshua the son of Nave (Nun).  (Dialogue with Trypho 61)

He is the Word of Wisdom who is himself God

The Word of Wisdom, who is Himself this God begotten of the Father of all things, and Word, and Wisdom, and Power, and the Glory of the Begetter, will bear evidence to me, when He speaks by Solomon the following: 'If I shall declare to you what happens daily, I shall call to mind events from everlasting, and review them. The Lord made me the beginning of His ways for His works.   (Dialogue with Trypho 61)

He deserves worship as God and as Christ

Therefore these words testify explicitly that He is witnessed to by Him who established these things, as deserving to be worshipped, as God and as Christ.  (Dialogue with Trypho 63)

He is God coming forth from above

And you remember from other words also spoken by David, and which I have mentioned before, how it is declared that He would come forth from the highest heavens, and again return to the same places, in order that you may recognise Him as God coming forth from above, and man living among men; and[how it is declared] that He will again appear, and they who pierced Him shall see Him, and shall bewail Him.  (Dialogue with Trypho 64)
