Ambrose of Milan : The fruit of divine mercy is common to all, but the order of merit differs. — On the Death of Satyrus 2.92 John Chrysostom : "But every man in his own order." For do not, because thou hearest of a resurrection, imagine that all enjoy the same benefits. Since if in the punishment all will not suffer alike but the difference is great; much more where there are sinners and righteous men shall the separation be yet wider. "Christ the first-fruits, then they that are Christ's;" i.e., the faithful and the approved. — Homily on 1 Corinthians 39 Origen of Alexandria : But since the merit of all is not one, nor is the advancement in faith one, therefore the ark too does not furnish one and the same dwelling to all these, but the lower parts are double-chambered and the upper parts triple-chambered, and nests are distinguished in it, so as to show that in the Church also, although all are contained within one faith and are washed by one baptism, nevertheless the advancement is not one and the same for all, "but each in his own order." — HOMILIES ON Genesis 2.3
