Quotes by Jerome
Jerome (347–420) — Kirchenvater · Katholisch · Israel
Hieronymus (ca. 347–420) war ein spätantiker christlicher Gelehrter und Mönch, der nach Stationen in Rom und im östlichen Mittelmeerraum vor allem in Bethlehem wirkte. Er schuf mit der Vulgata die maßgebliche lateinische Bibelübersetzung aus den Urtexten, trat für radikale Askese ein und führte scharfe polemische Auseinandersetzungen mit zeitgenössischen Theologen. Für heutige Bibelleser steht er für methodische Textarbeit und die wegweisende Rückbesinnung auf den hebräischen Grundtext des Alten Testaments.

Quotes by Jerome
We should not grieve that we have lost the dead, but be thankful that we had them, indeed still have them: for whoever returns home to the Lord remains in the fellowship of God's family and has only gone ahead.
Jerome
The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it.
Jerome
That God gives more than we ask of Him, that He often bestows what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no human heart has imagined — this I already knew from the holy and mysterious Scriptures. But now I have experienced it in myself.
Jerome
Teach in Thy church, not to get the applause of the people, but to set in motion the groan; the tears of the hearers are Thy praises.
Jerome
Christ is God's power and God's wisdom, and whoever does not know Holy Scripture does not know God's power or his wisdom: not knowing Scripture means not knowing Christ.
Jerome
I know not how, but this living voice, this living word, has a hidden power of its own.
Jerome
Christians are made, not born.
Jerome
You are mistaken if you think a Christian can live without persecution. The person who suffers the most persecution is the one who lives under none. A storm makes a person watchful and forces him to do everything to avoid shipwreck.
Jerome
I do not wish to diminish the glory of the law and the prophets; on the contrary, I praise them, because they announce Christ. Therefore, when I read Moses and the prophets, my intention is not to stop with them, but to reach Christ through them.
Jerome
It is unworthy of a Christian to wish to live in a state in which he would not wish to die.
Jerome
Wine is the first weapon the devils use in their fight against the young.
Jerome
