Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made it shipwreck:
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 1:19 Go To 1 Timothy 1
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
But the sectarians, who have fallen away from the teaching of the church and made shipwreck concerning the faith, wrongly think that evil has some sort of eternal existence. They arbitrarily imagine another god besides the true One, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. They fantasize that he is the unmade producer of evil and the head of wickedness, who is also artificer of creation. These men one can easily refute, not only from the divine Scriptures but also from the human understanding itself, the very source of these insane imaginations.
