Therefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

It is not assumed here that the Son of God was lacking or imperfect before “the name that is above every name” was given to Christ…. Even before his passion he showed himself equal to God, as I have stated. Hence it is clear that he was born perfect, for he is seen to have possessed all things from the beginning. He was born in the fullness of divinity for the very purpose of doing all that he was destined to perform. So he had already received the gift before he performed the things that he was born to do. It therefore seems that the gift of God, which consists in his being Son, was that his name should be “above every name,” which consists in his being God. .
