Gregory the Great, on Jas 2:10
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Jas 2:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.”
On this verse:
“Surely, when we are clothed with a garment, we are surrounded on every side, and so he is "clothed with righteousness as with a garment," who defends himself on every side with good practice, and leaves no part of his conduct naked to sin; for he that is just in some deeds and unjust in others, it is as if he covered over this side, and exposed that one naked; nor are those henceforth good deeds, which are defiled by other evil deeds springing up.”
