Background on Epiphanius of Salamis
In his own words on Philippians
- Philippians 2:6
Suppose that when he became a slave he ceased being truly Lord. How then could it be said that in his coming the one who was "in the form of God took the form of a slave"?
ANCORATUS 28
- Philippians 2:6-7
You see that he reveals Christ to be a man but not merely so, since he is the mediator of God and humanity.… He is trueborn God by nature with respect to his Father, but with respect to humanity he is Mary's trueborn son by nature, begotten without the seed of a man.
ANCORATUS 44
- Philippians 2:8
The Word tasted death once on our behalf, the death of the cross. He went to his death so that by death he might put death to death. The Word, becoming human flesh, did not suffer in his divinity but suffered with humanity.
ANCORATUS 92
