| Τὸ ὀξέως σκανδαλίζεσθαι, οὐ φιλοσόφου, μικρᾶς δέ τινος ψυχῆς· Εἰρήνη γὰρ πολλὴ, φησὶ, τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς σκάνδαλον. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡϟΘ, Φουρτουνατῳ Source: Migne PG 79 157 |
It is not the wise soul that is sharply scandalized, but the little soul. For it says, 'Much peace there is for the lovers of your name, and not to them is scandal.' 1 Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 199, To Fortunatus 1 Ps 118.163 |
