Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 3:22

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 3:22 · Douay-Rheims
“Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:”
On this verse:
“How could Paul have promised glory, honor and peace to the good works of Gentiles apart from the grace of the gospel? Because there otherwise is no acceptance of persons with God. And because it is not the hearers but the doers of the law who are justified, he argues that all, whether Jew or Gentile, shall alike have salvation in the gospel.”
