Background on Ambrose of Milan
In his own words on 2 Peter
- 2 Peter 1:4
Why should I add further, carrying you, as it were, through the whole course, that God made man partaker of the Divine nature, as we read in the Epistle of Peter? Whence one says not improperly, We also are His offspring, for He made us akin to Himself, and we are of a rational nature, that we might seek for that Godhead Which is not far from each one of us, in Whom we live and move and have our being.
Letter 43 to Horontianus, 10
