Gaius Marius Victorinus, on Phil 2:9

Gaius Marius Victorinus · c. A.D. 290–364
Phil 2:9 · Douay-Rheims
“For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:”
On this verse:
“He received "the name that is above every name." He received this name because of his saving word, because of the mystery of his passion, where death was vanquished by the very death of Christ. Through this grace he received the name. It was at that point that the name rightly accrued to him. But the reality to which the name pointed was already given before. The Word, the very power of God, did not become real for the first time only when it entered flesh. Rather it possessed its reality as the power, wisdom, action and work of God from the outset, when it was called the Word and when it indeed was the Word. It is that same Word that has now put on flesh … that has received the title of Son, which title is above every name.”
