ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 5 v7

WE WALK BY FAITH. SEVERIAN OF GABALA: By faith we hope in God, for his form is not visible to us. But we believe that we shall dwell with him and that we shall see him as far as it is possible for a human being to see him. For Moses saw him when he was still in the body, and the angels see him in the way that is possible for them. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.

NOT BY SIGHT. THEODORET OF CYR: We cannot now see what we shall be like, but we discern it by faith alone. That is why after the death of the body we want to stand in the presence of God. COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 314.

THE EYE OF FAITH. AUGUSTINE: Therefore, amid the shadows of this life in which “we are absent from the Lord” as long as “we walk by faith and not by sight,” the Christian soul should consider itself desolate and should not cease from praying and from attending with the eye of faith to the word of the divine and sacred Scriptures. TO PROBA 130.

JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH, GLORIFICATION BY SIGHT. FULGENTIUS: Nevertheless, when we hear at the same time of the justified and the glorified, let us not assign both the work of justification and glorification to the same moment in the present time. For the grace of justification is given in the present time, but the grace of glorification is saved as a future grace. The one is of faith, the other of sight. Paul says that now “we walk by faith, not by sight.” What the saints believe now, then they will see. TO MONIMUS 1. 11.5.
