Summary: Christians shared war and famine with the pagans, yet had Christ's peace.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:320

μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα πόλεμος καὶ λιμὸς ἐπέλαβεν, ἃ “τοῖς ἔθνεσι συνδιηνέγκαμεν, μόνοι μὲν ὑποστάντες “ὅσα ἡμῖν ἐλυμήναντο, παραπολαύσαντες δὲ καὶ ὧν “ἀλλήλους εἰργάσαντό τε καὶ πεπόνθασι· καὶ τῇ “Χριστοῦ πάλιν ἐνηυφράνθημεν εἰρήνῃ, ἣν μόνοις “ἡμῖν δέδωκε.

English · Claude translation

After this, war and famine came upon us, which we bore together with the pagans, enduring alone what they inflicted on us, but sharing also in what they did to and suffered from one another; and again we rejoiced in the peace of Christ, which he has given to us alone.
