Holy Scripture

Jeremiah 31:26

A church father on this verse
“Let us, then, submit ourselves to God, and not be subject to sin, and when we ponder the remembrance of our offences, let us blush as though at some disgrace, and not speak of them as a glory to us, as some boast of overcoming modesty, or putting down the feeling of justice. Let our conversion be such, that we who did…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Concerning Repentance 2.5.38-39
