The City of God by Saint Augustine

'a city surpassingly glorious, whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time, and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly, or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat, which it now with patience waits for, expecting until "righteousness shall return unto judgment," and it obtain, by virtue of its excellence, final victory and perfect peace.'
'Judgment shall again be just, and all the upright of heart will follow it.' Psalm 94:15
'But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."' James 4:6
