Nilus of Ancyra→Unknown|c. 415 AD|nilus ancyra|From Ancyra|AI-assisted
The whole day of this life the righteous man is scourged: in sorrows, in pains, in reproaches; amid many labors he is afflicted, being scourged. Do not, therefore, be astonished when you see the good man suffering in various ways and worn down. For whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son whom he receives [Hebrews 12:6, citing Proverbs 3:12]. And: I became, he says, scourged the whole day long, and my reproof came in the early mornings [Psalm 73:14, LXX 72:14]. For the reproof did not wait until the sun reached its height. I would reprove myself, confessing whether I had erred in anything, and without witnesses I would publicly condemn my own sins.
