Gennadius of Constantinople, on 1Cor 13:2

Gennadius of Constantinople · d. A.D. 471

1Cor 13:2 · Douay-Rheims

“And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”

On this verse:

“By faith, Paul does not mean the common and universal faith of believers but the spiritual gift of faith. The two things have the same name, because when the Holy Spirit comes upon us it is our human faith which expands to make room for the divine gift.”
