Ambrose of Milan, on Col 1:15
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Col 1:15 · Douay-Rheims
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:”
On this verse:
“The Apostle saith that Christ is the image of the Father-for he calls Him the image of the invisible God, the first-begotten of all creation. First-begotten, mark you, not first-created, in order that He may be believed to be both begotten, in virtue of His nature, and first in virtue of His eternity.”
