CommentHilary of PoitiersPublic domainMatthew 25:1–13

Chrys.; That, “While they went to buy,” shews that even, if we should become merciful after death, it will avail us nothing to escape punishment, as it was no profit to the rich man, that he became merciful and careful about those who belonged to him.
