Mateus 7
Hilary of Poitiers · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Mateus 7:1-2
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Otherwise; He forbids us to judge God touching His promises; for as judgments among men are founded on things uncertain, so this judgment against God is drawn from somewhat that is doubtful. And He therefore would have us put away the custom from us altogether; for it is not here as in other cases where it is sin to have given a false judgment; but here we have begun to sin if we have pronounced any judgment at all. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:3
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Otherwise; The sin against the Holy Spirit is to take from God power which has influences, and from Christ substance which is of eternity, through whom as God came to man, so shall man likewise come to God. As much greater then as is the beam than the mote, so much greater is the sin against the Holy Spirit than all other sins. As when unbelievers object to others carnal sins, and secrete in themselves the burden of that sin, to wit, that they trust not the promises of God, their minds being blinded as their eye might be by a beam. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:21
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] For obeying God's will and not calling on His name, shall find the way to the heavenly kingdom. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:22
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] They even assure themselves of glory for their prophesying in teaching, for their casting out dæmons, for their mighty works; and hence promise themselves the kingdom of heaven, saying, Have we not prophesied in thy name? — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:23
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] But thus the hypocrites boasted, as though they spoke somewhat of themselves, and as though the power of God did not work all these things, being invoked; but reading has brought them the knowledge of His doctrine, and the name of Christ casts out the dæmons. Out of our own selves then is that blessed eternity to be earned, and out of ourselves must be put forth something that we may will that which is good, that we may avoid all evil, and may rather do what He would have us do, than boast of that to which He enables us. These then He disowns and banishes for their evil works, saying, Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:25
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Otherwise; By the showers He signifies the allurements of smooth and gently invading pleasures, with which the faith is at first watered as with spreading rills, afterwards comes down the rush of torrent floods, that is, the motions of fiercer desire, and lastly, the whole force of the driving tempests rages against it, that is, the universal spirits of the Devil's reign attack it. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:27
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Otherwise; By the showers He signifies the allurements of smooth and gently invading pleasures, with which the faith is at first watered as with spreading rills, afterwards comes down the rush of torrent floods, that is, the motions of fiercer desire, and lastly, the whole force of the driving tempests rages against it, that is, the universal spirits of the Devil's reign attack it. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Mateus 7:28-29
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] Or; They measure the efficacy of His power, by the might of His words. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
