Theonas of Alexandria, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VI, Epistle of Theonas… (1885)
“ 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; [2] and then also shall ye do away with all ill-will, and bruise the head of that ancient serpent, [3] who is ever on the watch with all subtlety to undo your good works and your prosperous attainments. ”
