Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Thess 2:3

“For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:”

“That is, our teaching is not a deception. For deceivers do not subject themselves to dangers, but rather indulge in luxury; I, however, subjected myself to dangers. From this, therefore, it is clear that my teaching does not deceive, and that it is not for human affairs that I take dangers upon myself, but for divine and immutable ones. I do not teach anything impure, as magi and sorcerers teach. Not the pursuit of rebellions and revolutions, as the followers of Theudas do.”
