Song of Songs 2:4 Douay-Rheims

He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

What is, "Set in order love in me"? Make the proper degrees, and render to each what is his due. Do not put what should come before, below that which should come after it. Love your parents but prefer God to them.
