Augustine of Hippo, on Deut 6:5
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Deut 6:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength.”
On this verse:
“Therefore the supreme and true wisdom is in that first commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul." From this it follows that wisdom is love of God, which is "poured forth in our hearts," not otherwise than "by the Holy Spirit who is given to us." But "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," and "there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."”
