For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
All Commentaries on Romans 15:4 Go To Romans 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
These things were written so that we might not fall away, for we have many battles to fight, both inward and outward. But being comforted by the Scriptures we can exhibit patience, so that by living in patience we might dwell in hope. For these things produce one another—hope brings forth patience, and patience, hope.
