Tiago 4

Augustine of Hippo · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Tiago 4:3

If someone intends to misuse what he receives, he will not receive it. Instead, God will pity him. — TRACTATES 73.1

Tiago 4:4

It was because of these enmities toward God that not even his only-begotten Son was spared. — TRACTATES 101.2

Tiago 4:6

Give me someone professing perpetual continence, who is free from all vices and blemishes of conduct. For her I fear pride—I dread the swelling of self-conceit from so great a blessing. The more there is in her which she is satisfied with, the more I fear that in pleasing herself she will displease the one who resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. — On Holy Virginity 34

Tiago 4:14

Restoring health for a time to a man's body amounts to no more than extending his breath for a little while longer. Therefore it should not be considered of great importance, because it is temporal, not eternal. — SERMONS 124.1

Tiago 4:17

Does the one who does not know how to do good and does not do it commit a sin? He certainly does, but the one who knows what is good and does not do it sins more grievously. — ADULTEROUS MARRIAGES 9
