| ᾽Ειπεν ὁ ἀββας ᾽Ηλιας ὁ τῆς διακονιας· Τι ἰσχύει ἁμαρτια, ὅπου ἐστι μετάνοια; και τι ὠφελει ἀγάπη, ἔνθα ὑπερηφανια; ᾽Αποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος |
Father Elias said to a deacon, 'How does sin prevail where there is repentance? Of what use is love where there is pride?'
Sayings of the Fathers, Palladius of Galatia |
