Stai linistita ca lumea buna e tot cu noi, Sfantul Iustin afirma dogma ortodoxa, doar ca citatul a fost scos in mod intentionat din context.
Sfantul Iustin se refera la cei ce au murit inainte de Hristos, .

Dimpotrivă, atunci când lărgim contextul, vedem că Sfântul se referă nu doar la cei de dinainte de Cristos, ci și la cei care, după Cristos, fără să-L cunoască direct sau prin Biserică, trăiesc precum drepții din vechime:
If some should accuse us as if we held that people born before the time of Christ were not accountable to God for their actions, we shall anticipate and answer such a difficulty. We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes. Those, therefore, who lived according to reason (logos) were really Christians, even though they were thought to be atheists, such as, among the Greeks, Socrates, Heraclitus and other like them... So also, those who lived before Christ but did not live according to reason were wicked men, and enemies of Christ, and murderers of those who did live according to reason. Whereas those who lived then, or who live now, according to reason are Christians. Such as these can be confident and unafraid. ... Christ... was and is the Logos who is in everyone and foretold through the prophets the things that were to come, and taught these things in person after becoming like to us in feeling.
