(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
All Commentaries on Philippians 3:18 Go To Philippians 3
Ignatius of Antioch
AD 108
On which our life both sprang up again, and the victory over death was obtained in Christ, whom the children of perdition, the enemies of the Saviour, deny, "whose god is their belly, who mind earthly things".
For if they had been branches of the Father, they would not have been "enemies of the cross of Christ".
Beware, therefore, of those that hasten to work mischief, those "enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose glory is in their shame."
