Belief And Judgement


Dicit enim Scriptura per Esaiam: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur.

Dum enim examen coeperit fieri omnium rerum in die judicii, et omnia falsa commenta vel dogmata in confusionem deduci; tunc in Christum credentes tripudiabunt, videntes omnibus manifestari quia quod crediderunt, verum est: et prudens, quod stulum putabatur. Aspicient enim inter caeteros se solos gloriosos et prudentes, qui aestimati fuerant contemptibiles et stulti. Illic est enim vera approbatio, ubi remuneratio et condemnatio.


Ambrosiaster, In Epistolam Ad Romanos, Caput X

For Scripture says by Isaiah: 'All who believe in Him, shall not be confounded.' 1

For when the examination of all things has begun on the day of judgement, and all false works and false teaching have been led off in confusion, then those who believe in Christ shall rejoice, when all things are made clear they will see that what they believed is true, and that he is wise who was thought foolish. For they shall see among the others with them only the glorious and wise, they who were once judged to be contemptible and stupid. For there is true approval, where there is reward and damnation.


Ambrosiaster, from the Commentary On The Epistle of Saint Paul To The Romans, Chapter 10

1 Isaiah 18.26, Rom 10.11
