What does “in season, out of season” mean? That is, have no limited season: let it always be your season, not only in peace and in security, and when sitting in church.
Whether you are in danger, in prison, in chains, or going to your death, at that very time reprove. Do not withhold rebuke, for reproof is then most seasonable when your rebuke will be most successful, when the reality is proved.
+ St. John Chrysostom: Homily IX on II Timothy III
