Clement of Alexandria, on 1Thess 5:21
Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
1Thess 5:21 · Douay-Rheims
“But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”
On this verse:
“"For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe," and not yet acquainted with the word, according to which he has believed and works, and not able to give a reason in himself. "Prove all things," the apostle says, "and hold fast that which is good," speaking to spiritual men, who judge what is said according to truth, whether it seems or truly holds by the truth.”
