Wherefore also he added, \"in this respect,\" that is, in respect of the comparison. Not that this doth disparage the Old Covenant, yea rather it highly commendeth it: for comparisons are wont to be made between things which are the same in kind.<br/><i>— Homily 7 on 2 Corinthians</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: The light of a lamp shines brightly in the darkness of the night, but at midday it is barely visible and is not even thought of as light.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 304</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"f722438ef8a8ae44f21d859942355cee0918b752c365f970178f729a28bada99","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":1882,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"6c0839415abd21d59cc72167212956c16c894d825327788c54bb4b2c723f9319","translator":null,"work":null}
