Background on Theonas of Alexandria
In his own words on Mark
- Mark 11:25
Do no one an injury at any time, and provoke no one to anger. If an injury is done to you, look to Jesus Christ; and even as ye desire that He may remit your transgressions, do ye also forgive them theirs; and then also shall ye do away with all ill-will, and bruise the head of that ancient serpent, who is ever on the watch with all subtlety to undo your good works and your prosperous attainments.
The Epistle of Theonas, Bishop of Alexandria, to Lucianus, the Chief Chamberlain
