Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 6:28
Hilary of Poitiers · c. A.D. 310–367
Matt 6:28 · Douay-Rheims
“And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.”
On this verse:
“Or, under the signification of grass the Gentiles are pointed to. If then an eternal existence is only therefore granted to the Gentiles, that they may soon be handed over to the judgment fires; how impious it is that the saints should doubt of attaining to eternal glory, when the wicked have eternity bestowed on them for their punishment.”
