Basil of Caesarea · c. A.D. 330–379
Acts 14:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.”
On this verse:
“We must receive rebuke and castigation as a medicine that destroys disordered passion and restores health. From this it is clear that those who feign goodness out of a disordered desire to please people lose all profit and plot against the true life itself.”
