Romans 5:3
Douay-Rheims
And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Augustine of Hippo
Paul says this in order to lead us gradually to the love of God, which he says that we have by the gift of the Spirit. He shows us that all those things which we might attribute to ourselves ought to be attributed to God, who was pleased to give us his Holy Spirit through grace.
