What the Fathers say

1 Corinthians 16:14

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

This is against those who were disturbing and tearing apart the Church. Whether someone teaches, whether someone learns, whether someone rebukes, let everything, he says, be done with love, and through the mediation of love there will be neither pride nor division.

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

He instructs them about the manner of acting when he says, let all that you do be done in love, i.e., all things should be referred to the end of charity, namely, that they might be done for the sake of God and neighbor: "And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony" (Col. 3:14).
