Theodoret of Cyrus, on Isa 65:15
Theodoret of Cyrus · c. A.D. 393–457
Isa 65:15 · Douay-Rheims
“And you shall leave your name for an execration to my elect: and the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.”
On this verse:
“He has already mentioned this name. It is new and not old. For after the appearance of Christ the master, those who believed were called Christians. They bore this in place of all approving words. When one wished to praise, they were accustomed to add after many kind words, "He is a true Christian." And when on another occasion exhorting someone, they were accustomed to say, "Act as a Christian, do what befits a Christian." So this name is full of eulogy and blessing.”
