Êxodo 20
Ambrose of Milan · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Êxodo 20:12
The formation of the children is then the prerogative of the parents. Therefore honor your father, that he may bless you. Let the godly man honor his father out of gratitude and the ingrate do so on account of fear. Even if the father is poor and does not have plenty of resources to leave to his sons, still he has the heritage of his final blessing with which he may bestow the wealth of sanctification on his descendants. And it is a far greater thing to be blessed than it is to be rich. — THE PATRIARCHS 1.1
Êxodo 20:17
Love of money then is an old, an ancient vice, which showed itself even at the declaration of the divine law; for a law was given to check it. — On the Duties of the Clergy 2.26.130
