And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us
All Commentaries on Romans 5:5 Go To Romans 5
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
It is not by ourselves but by the Holy Spirit who is given to us that this charity, shown by the apostle to be God’s gift, is the reason why tribulation does not destroy patience but rather gives rise to it.
