When the angels had appeared on earth, they cried out: Glory to God in the highest (Luke 2:14). If the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are in the highest, we rightly say, Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; nor can we give glory and honor to the Father without the Son, since He Himself commands in the Gospel, That all should honor the Son even as they honor the Father (John 5:23). And the Apostle says that no one honors the Lord Jesus except in the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3).
