Theodoret of Cyrus

Ambrose of Milan

  • “He has not heard what was read to-day: “That a man is not justified by the works of the law,” or “I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live unto God,” that is, by the spiritual law he is dead to the carnal interpretation of the law.” — editor's note: Gal. ii. 19.
