Basil of Caesarea, on 1Cor 11:1
Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
1Cor 11:1 · Douay-Rheims
“Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.”
On this verse:
“If, indeed, the goal of Christianity is the imitation of Christ according to the measure of his incarnation, insofar as is conformable with the vocation of each individual, they who are entrusted with the guidance of many others are obliged to animate those still weaker than themselves, by their assistance, to the imitation of Christ.”
