Set free by the grace of God from fear, we have received the Spirit of sonship so that, considering what we were and what we have become by the gift of God, we might govern our life with great care lest the name of God the Father be disgraced by us and we incur all the things we have escaped from. God in his goodness has indulged us with what is beyond our natural capacity.

—Ambroasiaster, Commentary on Paul’s Epistles
