ACC ~ 2 Timothy 3 v17

DEPEND UPON SCRIPTURES. CHRYSOSTOM: This is why the exhortation of the Scripture is given: that the man of God may be rendered complete by it. Without this he cannot grow to maturity. You have the Scriptures, he says, in place of me. If you would learn anything, you may learn it from them. HOMILIES ON 2 TIMOTHY 9.

UNINTERRUPTED CONVERSE. ATHANASIUS: Here is why meditation on the law is necessary, my beloved, along with an uninterrupted conversion with virtue: “that the saint may lack nothing but be perfect to every good work.” For by these things comes the promise of eternal life, as Paul wrote to Timothy, calling constant meditation exercise, and saying, “Exercise yourself unto godliness.” FESTAL LETTERS 11.7.
