Pelagius, on Rom 8:24

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420

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:

“We have not yet seen the things that we were promised, but we live in hope. What we see is not hoped for, but we own it if it belongs to us. Christians have no hope in what can be seen, for we have been promised not what is present but what is to come in the future.”
