Acts of Peter and Paul, on Ps 109:3
Acts of Peter and Paul · c. A.D. 500
Ps 109:3 · Douay-Rheims
“With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.”
On this verse:
“Just as, therefore, from the side of Adam Eve was created, so also from the side of Christ was created the church, which has no spot or blemish. In him, therefore, God has opened an entrance to all the sons of Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob, in order that they may profess their faith in him and have life and salvation in his name. Turn, therefore, and enter into the joy of your father Abraham, because God has fulfilled what he promised to him. Whence also the prophet says, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent: "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." Christ became a priest on the cross, when he offered the whole burnt offering of his own body and blood as a sacrifice for all the world.”
