Ambrosiaster, on Gal 5:26

Ambrosiaster · fl. c. A.D. 366–384
Gal 5:26 · Douay-Rheims
“Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying on another.”
On this verse:
“What he is saying is that if we live well and honestly we should also express this in good conduct. This is what it is to live in the Spirit: to have an unblemished life. We walk in the Spirit if we study peace. For this is what engenders love. It is, on the other hand, empty glory to seek a victory where there is no prize, so that someone would end up having only a zeal for strife and spiritual competition. These things tend toward discord and wrangling.”
