Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Thess 2:1
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Thess 2:1 · Douay-Rheims
“For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:”
On this verse:
“Great, says the apostle, are your struggles; but we also did not employ a merely human word, and our entrance was not without effect, that is, without dangers and trials, and in general without hardships. For, as has been said many times, dangers strengthen faith; without them it would be in vain.”
