Clement of Alexandria, on 1Tim 4:10

“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.”

“And to speak comprehensively, all benefit appertaining to life, in its highest reason, proceeding from the Sovereign God, the Father who is over all, is consummated by the Son, who also on this account "is the Saviour of all men," says the apostle, "but especially of those who believe." But in respect of its immediate reason, it is from those next to each, in accordance with the command and injunction of Him who is nearest the First Cause, that is, the Lord.”
