Psalm 8:3 — because of your enemies, to destroy enemy and avenger; Satan both
“Because of your enemies, to destroy enemy and avenger” (Psalm 8:3).
Origen. As enemy, Satan forces us to sin; as avenger, he punishes those who are handed over. So Hymenaeus and Alexander, having himself made them blasphemers, he again disciplined, because of the blasphemies against God (1 Timothy 1:20).

8.3 Ενεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου, τοῦ κα ταλῦσαι ἐχθρὸν καὶ ἐκδικητήν. ̓Ωρ. ̔Ως ἐχθρὸς μὲν ἡμᾶς ὁ Σατανᾶς ἁμαρ τάνειν καταναγκάζει· ὡς δὲ ἐκδικητὴς, πα ραδιδομένους κολάζει, ̔Υμέναιον ου ν καὶ ̓Αλέξανδρον αὐτὸς βλασφήμους ἀπεργασά μενος, πάλιν ἐπαίδευσεν, διὰ τὰς εἰς Θεὸν βλασφημίας.
