Pelagius, on Rom 5:3
Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420
Rom 5:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;”
On this verse:
“We glory not only in the hope of glory but also in sufferings which are most salutary, being mindful of the greatness of the reward. We should desire to suffer something for the Lord's name so that when sufferings come to an end we may obtain an eternal reward for them. For when we consider the reward, we cannot possibly begrudge the effort needed to be worthy of the reward.”
