Augustine of Hippo, on 1Tim 4:10
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
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:
“But in the Lord's own very humility (in consenting to be baptized by John) there is a marvelous medicine; one was baptizing, the other healing. You see, if Christ is the Savior of all, especially of the faithful—it is the apostle's judgment, and a true one, that Christ is the Savior of all—then nobody may say, "I have no need of a savior." If you say this, you are not bowing humbly to the doctor's orders but perishing in your disease.”
