Augustine of Hippo, on 1Pet 2:22
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Pet 2:22 · Douay-Rheims
“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.”
On this verse:
“Note that the apostle holds this statement that Christ did no sin sufficient to prove that there was no sin in him. He who did not sin could not have had sin in him.… Certainly the adult man would have committed sin if there had been sin in the infant. Apart from him there is no one who has not committed sin after reaching his majority, and the reason for this is that there is no one who is without sin at the beginning of infancy.”
