Matthew 24:22
Douay-Rheims
And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
Hilary of Poitiers
Or; That we be not taken in the frost of sins, or in discontinuance of good works, because of the soreness of the affliction; notwithstanding that for the sake of God’s elect, those days shall be shortened, that the abridgment of the time may disarm the force of the calamities.
