So the first Christians’ koinōnia with the Apostles — and of every rightly communicating person through all ages — is at once communion with the heavenly Father and with His Son the God-man Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3), always to remain.

Yet it is Spiritual: Christ came not by water only but by water and blood.

Latin

Quorum Christianorum puta primorum hoc pacto Communio seu koinōnia fuit, cum Apostolis fuit, & uti istorum, ita ritè communicantium quorumvis, per omnia secula, cum iisdem, eoque simul koinōnia meta tou patros kai meta tou huiou Iēsou Christou, Communio & cum Patre Cœlesti & cum Filio ejus Theanthrōpō Jesu Christo, semperq; mansura, 1. Joh. 1. 3.; at Spiritualis, quandoquidem Christus, utut venit non tō hydati monon, all' en tō hydati kai tō haimati.
