Cyril of Jerusalem

Augustine of Hippo
“In the New Testament such expressions are most difficult to find.…“The King,” therefore, “of the virtues of the Beloved,” thus may be understood, as if it were to be said, the King of His virtues, because both King of Virtues is Christ, and the Beloved is the very same Christ.” — editor's note: Rom. i. 3, 4.
