Patristic A.D. 430 · Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 7:3-5

Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 7:3

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 7:3 · Douay-Rheims
“Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?”
On this verse:
“(ubi sup.) As if he perhaps have sinned in anger, and you correct him with settled hate. For as great as is the difference between a beam and a mote, so great is the difference between anger and hatred. For hatred is anger become inveterate. It may be if you are angry with a man that you would have him amend, not so if you hate him.”
