Ambrosiaster · fl. c. A.D. 366–384
1Thess 1:6 · Douay-Rheims
“And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:”
On this verse:
“Those who, eager to believe, suffer insults and injuries from their fellows, are precisely those who may be called imitators of the apostles and of the Lord himself. He suffered the same things from the Jews, as did the apostles who endured persecution as they pursued their faith in God.”
