Teaching And Travail

Εἴτε δὲ θλιβόμενοι Θλίβεσθαί φασιν οἱ διδάσκαλοι ὑπὲρ προκοπῆς καὶ σωτηρίας τῶν πεπαιδευμένων, ἵν' ὑπομονὴν ἔχοντες τελείαν βεβαιωθῶσιν, ἐλπίζοντες τυχεῖν ἐπαξίων ἀμοιβῶν δοθησομένων τοῖς ὑπὲρ ἀληθείας ἀγωνιζομένοις ἀποστόλοις καὶ τοῖς τούτων ἀκροαταῖς. Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς, Εἰς Τὴν Δευτέραν Ἐπιστολήν Παύλου Πρὸς Κορινθίους Migne PG 39 1683

'But if we are troubled...' 1 Troubled he names the teachers on account of the advance and salvation of their pupils, that having endurance they be firmly established, hoping that they are worthy to be given the Apostolic reward for their striving for truth, and the same for their pupils. Didymus the Blind, On The Second Letter of Paul to The Corinthians, Fragment 1 2 Cor 1.6
