Justin Martyr
Early Christian apologist, considered a saint by the Roman Catholic Church, the Angelican Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church
(100-165 AD)

“We ourselves were well conversant with war, murder, and everything evil, but all of us throughout the whole wide earth have traded in our weapons of war. We have exchanged our swords for ploughshares, our spears for farm tools. Now we cultivate the fear of God, justice, kindness to men, faith, and the expectation of the future given to us by the Father himself through the Crucified One.”
~ (Dialogue with Trypho 110.3.4) Written by St. Justin about 160 AD
