Basil of Caesarea, on 2Cor 11:27

“In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.”

“Such exertion is beneficial not only for bringing the body into subjection but also for showing charity to our neighbor, so that through us God might grant sufficiency to the weak among us.”
