ACC ~ Philippians 3 v16

HOLD TRUE TO THE CONSENT OF THE WHOLE CHURCH TO BAPTISMAL FAITH. AMBROSIASTER: Lest anyone should presume to think this was not from God and revealed by God he therefore adds the words β€œwhat we have attained,” that we should think in accord with the apostles. That means that we should not overstep the rule of doctrine in understanding but accept what is commonly and humbly understood in the truth of the gospel. EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS 3.16.

THE PERFECT TRAVELER DOES NOT HOLD STILL BUT ADVANCES DAY BY DAY. AUGUSTINE: Hold true with the affections of the mind and habits of living, so that one is able to be perfectly in the possession of righteousness when, advancing day by day along the direct road of faith, one has already become a perfect traveler on the road. ON WHAT IS DUE TO SINNERS 2.20.
