The Rights of War and Peace
Apostle who baptized Cornelius the Centurion, cited as not requiring him to resign his military post.
he was baptized into the name of Christ by Peter, yet we do not find that he either had resigned or was advised by the Apostle to resign his military commission.
De Oratione
Peter the Apostle, who questions Christ about forgiveness and exemplifies fixed hours of prayer.
Peter, on the day he had the vision of the universal community in that vessel, had gone up to the upper parts at the sixth hour for the sake of prayer.
And when Peter had asked whether he must forgive his brother seven times, Nay, he said, seventy times seven — that he might reform the law for the better, since in Genesis vengeance was reckoned for Cain sevenfold, but for Lamech seventy times seven.
