Clement of Alexandria, on Rom 5:4
Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
Rom 5:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And patience trial; and trial hope;”
On this verse:
“Divinely, therefore, Paul writes expressly, "Tribulation worketh, patience, and patience experience, and experience hope; and hope maketh not ashamed." For the patience is on account of the hope in the future. Now hope is synonymous with the recompense and restitution of hope; which maketh not ashamed, not being any more vilified.”
