Background on Chromatius of Aquileia

In his own words on Philippians

  • Philippians 2:15

    With the very light of truth we are to illumine those who are caught in the shadows of error, dispelling the night of ignorance.… If we do not do this, it will be apparent that our infidelity has, as it were, concealed and overshadowed the benefits of this needful light, to our own perdition as well as that of others.

    TRACTATE 19.3.2-3
