Background on Didymus the Blind

In his own words on 3 John

  • 3 John 1:11

    Light has nothing in common with darkness, and there is no agreement between Christ and Belial. The person who does good has Christ, the true light, and not darkness or Belial. But the person who does evil is from Belial and darkness and has not seen God or had any knowledge of him.
