Augustine of Hippo, on 1Tim 6:8
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Tim 6:8 · Douay-Rheims
“But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.”
On this verse:
“"Give us today our daily bread." It can be taken quite simply that we pour out this prayer for our daily sustenance, that we may have plenty of it; and if we don't have plenty, that we may not lack it entirely. He called it "daily," "for as long as it is called 'today.' " Daily we live, daily we get up, daily we take our fill, daily we get hungry. May he give us our daily bread.”
