What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
And the Lord desired to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt it. LXX: The Lord God was pleased for the sake of his justice, that he might magnify his law. The Lord, he said, wanted to sanctify him, and magnify his Law, and lift up and comfort his suffering people.
Thomas Aquinas
Second, he shows the foolishness of the hard-hearted, because the Lord intended what is found in the precepts for their own advantage. Hence he sets out the intention of the Lord: and the Lord was willing to sanctify him, the people, both that the people themselves should magnify the law of God in their hearts by keeping it, and that the Lord should exalt the people: for this is the will of God, your sanctification (1 Thess 4:3).
