ACC ~ Romans 12 v5

MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER. CLEMENT OF ROME: Why do we divide and tear to pieces the members of Christ and raise up strife against our own body, and why have we reached such a height of madness as to forget that “we are members one of another?” THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT 46.

ONE BODY IN CHRIST. AMBROSIASTER: This is what it means to love Christ, that we should en-courage one another to live in a way which corresponds to the way in which the body is made perfect in Christ. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

[PSEUDO-]CONSTANTIUS: Paul says that there are many members in the one body, on account of the many different ministries which there are. THE HOLY LETTER OF ST. PAUL TO THE ROMANS.

UNITY AND CHARITY. LEO THE GREAT: The bond of our unity cannot be firm unless the bond of charity has tied us together in indivisible solidarity. … It is the connection of the entire body which makes for one health, one beauty. And this connection requires the unanimity of the entire body, but especially it demands harmony among the bishops. LETTER 14.
