Chapter

 1 3 |    We affirm, then, that the name of God always existed with
 2 3 |   Divinity; but Lord is (the name) not of substance, but of
 3 3 |  existed always with its own name, which is God; the title
 4 3 | became Lord and received the name thereof. Because God is
 5 3 |      the Scripture added the name Lord: "And the Lord God,
 6 4 |     that are called gods" in name, "whether in heaven or in
