And the things that thou hast heard of me in many exhortations, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”[2 Timothy 2:1-2] If, then, the blessed (apostle) delivered these things with a pious caution, which could be easily known by all, as he perceived in the spirit that “all men have not faith,” how much greater will be our danger, if, rashly and without thought, we ...
