Augustine of Hippo, on Isa 1:9

“Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.”

“Beware, O Christian, beware of pride. For though you are a follower of the saints, ascribe it always wholly to grace. That there should be any "remnant" in you, the grace of God has brought it to pass, not your own merits.”
