Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches...If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you." — Jesus Christ, John 15
"The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" — St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 10:16
"We have here an exposition of the metaphysics of Iamblichus. The levels of realities are the One-Good, the Limit and Unlimited, the intelligible, the soul, and celestial and terrestrial bodies. Between these levels of reality, relations are established by participation, with the inferior being in a relation of model to image with the superior, which is its cause." — Luc Brisson, "Chapter 18 of the De communi mathematica scientia. Translation and Commentary" Iamblichus and the Foundations of Late Platonism
"The ascent to the divine is conceptualised as enabling the human to participate in divine power and activity through assimilation and likeness to the divine through the effective utilisation of divine symbola..." — Crystal Addey, "Iamblichus on Mathematical Entities." Iamblichus and the Foundations of Late Platonism
