Cyril of Alexandria, on Prov 18:19
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
Prov 18:19 · Douay-Rheims
“A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.”
On this verse:
“Truly spiritual affection is a strong city not able to be overcome or besieged by the devil either by undermining or by scaling. For it does not give way to the siege machines of Satan because it is guarded by Christ, the Lord, by Christ who conquered the world and has prepared eternal blessings for you, by Christ, who said, "He who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."”
