2.238. Papiska Oskorodoulis.

All those servants who sincerely serve their masters according to the flesh will receive recompense from God. Those who are negligent, careless, arrogant, and lazy to serve as they should, without receiving any benefits from God, will still be punished.

About the Blasphemers

2.185. To Deacon Zeno.

Nothing puts to shame those who attack and reproach so much as the correction of those who are reproached with meekness and modesty. For such a beautiful change in those who are reproached is a disgrace to those who reproach.

On the teaching of nuns in the church of men

2.111. Nun Theodosia.

Like it or not, you are a woman in body. Therefore, cease teaching husbands in church, because the Apostle clearly recognized this as "shameful" (1 Corinthians 14:35), although you will assert a thousand times that you are far from the state proper to wives, and after establishing in yourself a virginal way of thinking, you have become firmer than men.

On Accepting Gifts from Rich People

2.83. Monk Onesimus.

If a rich man in the present life thinks that by generosity to you he fully repays gratitude to God, then he is obliged not to wait for your request, but rather to ask and beseech you to deign to accept his gift. Therefore, knowing the baseness of this man's soul, as one who is possessed by demons, do not deign him even a word.

On God's Allowance for the Wicked to Be Glorified by Men

1.71. To Deacon Pompios.

What do you find strange when you see that the most wicked and wicked man is exalted with praise, is unlawfully glorified, and has great power among those who rule? Remember what the Scriptures declare: "the wicked are "given" "into the high places" (Ecclesiastes 10:6), that is, he is allowed to exalt himself in the opinion of this world. And it was allowed not without judgment, but that, being exalted to the utmost and falling from there, he should suffer incurable contrition.
