Background on Severian of Gabala
In his own words on 2 Timothy
- 2 Timothy 4:2
The opportune time for preaching and teaching is when the sinner needs the prophylaxis that will lead him to repentance. The sinner will be helped at exactly the right moment between the intention to sin and the commission of sin and will turn to penitence instead.
