ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 1 v19

AN UNCHANGING WILL. AMBROSIASTER: Competent preachers ought to be unambiguous about what they say. Say nothing that is not beneficial. Given that our human will often tends in ambivalent directions, Paul is insistent that he is not acting according to his will but according to what he knows will be helpful. In Christ, of course, this problem does not exist, because he always wills what is beneficial. Furthermore, Christ’s will never changes and is never uncertain. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

NOT UNSAYING WHAT I SAID. CHRYSOSTOM: I have never unsaid what I said before. My talk was not now this, now that. That would be not faith but a wandering mind. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 3.4.

SPEAKING THE FATHER’S TRUTH. AUGUSTINE: And when we confess that we have lied, we speak the truth, for we are saying what we know, and we know that we have lied. That Word, however, which is God and more powerful than ourselves, cannot do this. … And of himself he does not speak, but of that Father is everything that he speaks, since the Father speaks it in a unique way. The great power of that Word is that he cannot lie, because in him there cannot be yes and no but yes, yes; no, no. For that is not even to be called a word if it is not true. ON THE TRINITY 15.15.
