Eastern Orthodoxy sustained the no-provoke tradition that the West abandoned

Evidence

And — and this is the comparative point that deserves emphasis — the Eastern Christian tradition, operating without the full Augustinian original-sin doctrinal framework (Episode 22 documented this), substantively maintained engagement with the Pauline “do not provoke” passages across the centuries that Western Christianity was under-amplifying them. The Eastern Orthodox patristic-pedagogical tradition (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, John Chrysostom himself, Maximus the Confessor) sustained substantive engagement with Ephesians 6:4 and Colossians 3:21 across the medieval Byzantine period. — , The Rod and the Child, 2776
