ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα. Καὶ οὐχ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ καταρχὴν ἔλαβε τὸ καλεῖσθαι θεός, ἀλλ' ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ σὺν αὐτῷ ἐθεολογήθη. Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ λόγου. Καὶ ὅτε λέγει, "Οὔπω ἦν πνεῦμα ἅγιον, ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐδέπω ἐδοξάσθη," τὴν σάρκα αὐτοῦ λέγει μηδέπω δοξασθεῖσαν. Οὐ γὰρ ὁ κύριος τῆς δόξης δοξάζεται, ἀλλ' ἡ σὰρξ τοῦ κυρίου τῆς δόξης αὐτὴ λαμβάνει δόξαν, συναναβαίνουσα αὐτῷ εἰς οὐρανόν. Ὅθεν φησί, καὶ πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας οὔπω ἦν ἐν ἀνθρώποις, διότι ἡ ληφθεῖσα ἀπαρχὴ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων οὔπω ἦν ἀνελθοῦσα εἰς οὐρανόν. Ὅσα οὖν λέγει ἡ γραφή, ὅτι "ἔλαβεν" ὁ υἱὸς καὶ "ἐδοξάσθη," διὰ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα αὐτοῦ λέγει, οὐ διὰ τὴν θεότητα. Τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ λόγου. Ὥστε ἀληθινὸς θεός ἐστιν οὗτος, καὶ πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν ἄνθρωπον, καὶ μετὰ τὸ γενέσθαι μεσίτην θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν ἡνωμένον πατρὶ κατὰ πνεῦμα, ἡμῖν δὲ κατὰ σάρκα, τὸν μεσιτεύσαντα θεῷ καὶ ἀνθρώποις, τὸν μὴ μόνον ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ καὶ θεόν. Τοῦ ἁγίου Ἀμβροσίου ἐπισκόπου Μεδιολάνου. Ἐν ἐκθέσει πίστεως. Ὁμολογοῦμεν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ, πρὸ πάντων μὲν τῶν αἰώνων ἀνάρχως ἐκ πατρὸς γεννηθέντα κατὰ τὴν θεότητα, ἐπ' ἐσχάτων δὲ τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκ τῆς ἁγίας παρθένου Μαρίας τὸν αὐτὸν σαρκωθέντα, καὶ τέλειον τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκ ψυχῆς λογικῆς καὶ σώματος ἀνειληφότα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ πατρὶ κατὰ τὴν θεότητα, καὶ ὁμοούσιον ἡμῖν κατὰ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα. Δύο γὰρ φύσεων τελείων ἕνωσις γεγένηται ἀφράστως. Διὸ ἕνα Χριστόν, ἕνα υἱὸν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καθομολογοῦμεν, εἰδότες ὅτιπερ συναΐδιος ὑπάρχων τῷ ἑαυτοῦ πατρὶ κατὰ τὴν θεότητα, καθ' ἣν καὶ πάντων ὑπάρχει δημιουργός,
