For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe.
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 4:10 Go To 1 Timothy 4
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
But in the Lord’s own very humility (in consenting to be baptized by John) there is a marvelous medicine; one was baptizing, the other healing. You see, if Christ is the Savior of all, especially of the faithful—it is the apostle’s judgment, and a true one, that Christ is the Savior of all—then nobody may say, “I have no need of a savior.” If you say this, you are not bowing humbly to the doctor’s orders but perishing in your disease.
