CommentBasil the GreatPublic domainLuke 12:47–48

But you will say, If the one indeed received many stripes, and the other few, how do some say He assigns no end to punishments? But we must know, that what is here said assigns neither measure nor end of punishments, but their differences. For a man may deserve unquenchable fire, to either a slight or more intense degree of heat, and the worm that dieth not with greater or more violent gnawings.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
