…Christianity is greatest when it is hated by the world (ἀλλὰ μεγέθους ἐστὶν ὁ Χριστιανισμός, ὅταν μισῆται ὑπὸ κόσμου).

Ignatius of Antioch (c. AD 117), Romans 3:3 in Michael William Holmes, ed. The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations, Updated ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 1999), 170–71.
