Theophilus of Antioch, on 1Tim 2:2
Theophilus of Antioch · d. A.D. 183
1Tim 2:2 · Douay-Rheims
“For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.”
On this verse:
“Moreover, concerning subjection to authorities and powers, and prayer for them, the divine word gives us instructions, in order that "we may lead a quiet and peaceable life." And it teaches us to render all things to all, "honour to whom honour, fear to whom fear, tribute to whom tribute; to owe no man anything, but to love all."”
