ACC ~ Romans 3 v11

THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY. ORIGEN: Even the apostle Paul himself says that he knows in part and understands in part. So who is there who can make a claim that he understands? For however much he may understand, it will appear that he understands through a glass darkly and that only after he lays aside this earthly body will he see face to face. … Thus it is that “no one understands, no one seeks for God.” For as long as we are preoccupied with the cares of the body and seek the things of the body, we cannot seek God nor can we think his thoughts. COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

THE LAMENESS OF ASA. AMBROSIASTER: Seek God. Do not be like Asa the king of Judah, who after receiving many blessings from God fell so far that when he suffered lameness in his feet he would not seek God even though there was a prophet present.COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

SEEKING GOD’S WILL. PELAGIUS: One who does not understand does not seek. Or perhaps it is that one does not understand because one does not seek. One seeks for God by enquiring after his will. … The sinner has not known the will of his master. “Know me, know my will,” as the popular saying goes. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
