Augustine of Hippo, on John 15:12
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
John 15:12 · Douay-Rheims
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.”
On this verse:
“(Tract. lxxxvi. 3) Love then is one fruit, now existing in desire only, not yet in fulness. Yet even with this desire whatever we ask in the name of the Only-Begotten Son, the Father giveth us: That whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He may give it you. We ask in the Saviour’s name, whatever we ask, that will be profitable to our salvation.”
