Augustine of Hippo, on Rom 5:5

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Rom 5:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.”
On this verse:
“It is not by ourselves but by the Holy Spirit who is given to us that this charity, shown by the apostle to be God's gift, is the reason why tribulation does not destroy patience but rather gives rise to it.”
