But if any man loves God, the same is known by him.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 8:3 Go To 1 Corinthians 8
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Paul says: “If one loves God, one is known by him.” He certainly did not say “one knows God,” a dangerous presumption, but “he is known by God.” Elsewhere he remarks, “But now you know God,” and then immediately corrects himself: “or rather you are known by God.”
