ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 8 v6a

THERE IS ONE GOD. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM: We say “one” to stop anyone dreaming that there could be another. We say “one” lest you should hear of his work under manifold names. CATECHETICAL LECTURES 10.3.

WITH, THROUGH AND IN HIM. AMBROSE: When he says “through him,” did he deny that all things were made in him, through whom he says that all things are? These words, “in him” and “with him,” have this force, that by these is understood one and the same reality, not something contrary. … Scripture bears witness that these three phrases—“with him,” and “through him,” and “in him”—are one in Christ. THE HOLY SPIRIT 83.

FROM WHOM ARE ALL THINGS. AUGUSTINE: You have made not only what is created and formed but also whatever can be created and formed. Everything which is formed from the formless must first be formless before it can be a formed thing. CONFESSIONS 12.19.

TRIUNE LANGUAGE EMBEDDED. AUGUSTINE: “From him” means from the Father. “Through him” means through the Son. “In him” means in the Holy Spirit. It is self-evident that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one God. ON THE TRINITY 1.13.

ONE GOD, ONE LORD. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: Just as there is one God the Father from whom are all things, so there is one Lord Jesus Christ through whom are all things. LETTER 50.26.

ALL THINGS ASCRIBED TO GOD. PSEUDO-DIONYSIUS: So all things are rightly ascribed to God since it is by him and in him and for him that all things exist, are co-ordered, remain, hold together, are completed and are returned. THE DIVINE NAMES 980.
