Dionysius of Alexandria, on Eccl 3:7

Dionysius of Alexandria · d. A.D. 264
Eccl 3:7 · Douay-Rheims
“A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.”
On this verse:
“"A time to keep silence, and a time to speak." A time to speak, when there are hearers who receive the word; but a time to keep silence, when the hearers pervert the word; as Paul says: "A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject."”
