Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 16:8
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 16:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.”
On this verse:
“(de Quæst. Ev. l. ii. q. 34.) We must not then understand those by whom we wish to be received into everlasting habitations to be as it were debtors of God; seeing that the just and holy are signified in this place, who cause those to enter in, who administered to their necessity of their own worldly goods.”
