ACC ~ Ephesians 3 v9

TO ENLIGHTEN ALL. MARIUS VICTORINUS: When he speaks of making “all men see the plan,” this includes both Israel and the Gentiles. Paul had doubtless received the gospel for the Gentiles. But the Jews too can see the plan if they follow and obey. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 1.3.9.

THE CREATOR OF ALL WORKS THROUGH THE SON. MARIUS VICTORINUS: Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and through him all the rest are created. Through him the works of God are created, as God works in and through him. All ages of time are subsequent to Christ, being made by Christ. … Therefore, even though God is acknowledged as the Creator, God is nonetheless Creator through Christ. The term Creator therefore does not pertain simply to God as such but pertains to Christ and through Christ to God. Christ who was eternally begotten created all things in time. God worked and created all things through Christ. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 1.3.9.

THE MYSTERY HIDDEN FROM AGES. JEROME: These riches of his generosity were “hidden from all past ages in God,” the Creator of all. Where are Marcion, Valentinus and the other heretics who say that there is one creator of the visible world and another creator of the invisible? … However, the phrase “mystery hidden from the ages” could also be understood to mean that the very ages of time remained ignorant of his generosity when all spiritual and rational creatures who inhabited all previous ages remained unenlightened. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 2.3.8 9.
