Augustine of Hippo, on 1Pet 3:21
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
1Pet 3:21 · Douay-Rheims
“Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
On this verse:
“If some people have the worst consciences, full of every fault and crime, unchanged by penance for their evil deeds, baptism nevertheless saves them, for on the basis of the foundation which is laid in baptism they will be saved, even if it is through fire.”
