Augustine of Hippo, on John 5:25
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
John 5:25 · Douay-Rheims
“Amen, amen I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.”
On this verse:
“(xv. de Trin. c. 47. [xxvi.]) The Father must he understand not to have given life to the Son, who was existing without life, but so to have begotten Him, independently of time, that the life which He gave Him in begetting, was coeternal with His own.”
