“The Son is the firstborn of all: firstborn of God, so that it would be clear that He is the Son of God and the second after the Father; firstborn before the angels, so that it would be clear that He is Lord of the angels; firstborn of the Virgin, so that it would be evident that He re-creates in Himself the first-formed Adam; firstborn from the dead, being Himself the firstfruits of our resurrection.”
Hippolytus, Commentary on Daniel 4, 11: GCS 1,1, 212-14
