Ambrosiaster · fl. c. A.D. 366–384

Rom 8:24 · Douay-Rheims

“For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?”

On this verse:

“By hoping for what God has promised to us in Christ, we have made ourselves worthy of deliverance. Therefore we have been set free in the hope that what is coming in the future is no different from what we believe.”
