But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
All Commentaries on Genesis 6:18 Go To Genesis 6
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
Every earthly thing dies with the deluge and only the righteous live forever. Thus the words “I will establish my covenant with you” are addressed to the righteous. He is the heir of divine grace, the recipient of the heavenly inheritance, a sharer of the very holy goods.
