John Chrysostom on violence and heresy

"Our warfare does not make the living dead, but rather makes the dead to live, because it is conducted in the spirit of meekness and humility. I persecute by word, not by acts. I persecute heresy, not heretics. I would rather be persecuted, than persecute, just as Christ was victorious as Crucified, and not as crucifier."
