Riassunto

Excerpt from A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 13

Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The exordium2 is full of a vehement and lofty spirit, and not the exordium only, but also, so to speak, the whole Epistle. For always to address one's disciples with mildness, even when they need severity is not the part of a teacher but it would be the part of a corrupter and enemy. Wherefore our Lord too, though He generally spoke gently to His disciples, here and there uses sterner language, and at one time pronounces a blessing, at another a rebuke. Thus, having said to Peter, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, (matt. Xvi: and having promised to lay the foundation of the Church upon his confession, shortly afterwards He says, Get thee behind Me, Satan thou art a stum bling block unto Me. (matt. Xvi Again.
