What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Augustine of Hippo
"Therefore," he saith, "was I made straight unto all Thy commandments" (ver. 128). I was made straight, doubtless, because I loved them; and I clung by love to them, which were straight, that I might also myself become straight. Then what he addeth, naturally follows: "and every unrighteous way I utterly abhor." For how could it be that he who loved the straight could do aught save abhor an unrighteous way? …
Bonaventure
Third, we ought to speak of the commandments of God, that we may hate iniquity. Therefore it is said in the Psalm: "Therefore I was directed toward all thy commandments; every wicked way I have hated." For when a man begins to know iniquity or sin and the disorders of sin which are against God, then he begins to detest sin. We ought therefore to speak of the commandments, that we may love and understand them and be directed on the way to the fatherland and hate iniquity.
