Apostolic Constitutions, on 1Tim 4:10
Apostolic Constitutions · c. A.D. 380
1Tim 4:10 · Douay-Rheims
“For therefore we labor and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.”
On this verse:
“We also, following our teacher Christ, "who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe." are obliged to say that there are two ways. One is the way of life, the other of death. These have no comparison one with another, for they are very different, or rather entirely separate. The way of life is that of nature, but that of death was afterwards introduced—it not being according to the mind of God but from the snares of the adversary.”
