| II Thessalonians 2:14
| Therefore, brethren, stand firm; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.
| Traditions,...whether by word,{ Ver. 14. St. Chrysostom, 237. enteuthen deilon, etc.|} or by our epistle. Therefore, says St. Chrysostom, the apostle did not deliver all things that were to be believed, by writing; (Witham) but many things by word of mouth only, which have been perpetuated by tradition, and these traditions, no less than the writings of the apostles, are deserving of faith. Omoios de kakeina, kai tauta estin axiopista. (St. Chrysostom, on this place)
