Philoxenus of Mabbug, on 1Tim 4:5
Philoxenus of Mabbug · c. A.D. 450–523
1Tim 4:5 · Douay-Rheims
“For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”
On this verse:
“Now with thee He hath not done thus, but He hath purified and sanctified everything, as it is written, "Everything is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer," that henceforth the patient endurance of thy discretion might appear, and that thou mightest not eat, not because they were impure, but because it hath been said that it is good that thou shouldst not eat flesh nor drink wine, nor anything by which our brother may stumble, and also that thou mightest overcome lust by thine own will, and not by the restriction of the uncleanness of meats.”
