If you say, "Would there were no wine" because of the drunkards, then you must say, going on by degrees, "Would there were no steel," because of the murderers, "Would there were no night," because of the thieves, "Would there were no light," because of the informers, and "Would there were no women," because of adultery.
Saint John ChrysostomThe Holy Scriptures do not know any distinctions. They enjoin that all lead the life of monks.
Saint John ChrysostomI exhort and entreat you all, disregard what this man and that man thinks about these things, and inquire from the Scriptures all these things.
