1 Timothy 3:15
Douay-Rheims
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Cyril of Jerusalem
"For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name is great among the nations." It is of this holy Catholic church that Paul writes to Timothy.… He calls the church "the pillar and mainstay of the truth."
