2 Timothy 2:9
Douay-Rheims
Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.
John Chrysostom
For just as it is not possible to bind a sunbeam or to shut it up within the house, so neither can the preaching of the word be bound. And what was much more, when the teacher was bound, the word flew abroad. He inhabited the prison, and yet his teaching winged its way everywhere throughout the world!
