St Basil the Great, tr. Lowther Clarke, 1925
Rule 222: Who is the Adversary of Each One of Us? And How Shall We Agree with Him? (R.…
In this place1 the Lord specially describes as an adversary the man who tries to take from us something that belongs to us. D And we agree with him if we observe the Lord’s command: “If a man would go to law with thee and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also,”2 and the same applies to every matter of this kind.
