Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Thess 2:6
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Thess 2:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.”
On this verse:
“He did not say: we endured dishonor, or: we did not enjoy honor, lest this seem to them a reproach, but: we did not seek honors, although preaching truly did require this. For if we deem the ambassadors of kings worthy of great honor, then all the more should we honor the ambassadors of God. Therefore, how would we do anything for the sake of glory, when as teachers we did not desire honors either from you or from others?”
