They Who Hate Me Love Death

οἱ δὲ εἰς ἐμὲ ἁμαρτάνοντες ἀσεβοῦσιν τὰς ἑαυτῶν ψυχάς καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές με ἀγαπῶσιν θάνατον   Ἀσέβεια μέν ἐστιν ἡ εἰς Θεὸν ἁμαρτία· ἀσεβεῖ δὲ καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ὁ σωρεύων κόλασιν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ψυχῇ, τὴν τοῖς ἀσεβέσιν ἡτοιμασμένην· ἀκόλουθον δὲ καὶ τὸ ἀγαπᾷν θάνατον τοὺς σοφίαν μισοῦντες, εἴπερ ἡ σοφία ζωή. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογή Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ Η' Source: Migne PG 17.185a

They who sin against me are impious to their own souls, and they who hate me love death. 1 Impiety is the sin against God. By impiety one is set against one's own soul, heaping up punishment for the soul, with impieties preparing it. Consequently they love death who hate wisdom, since wisdom is life. Origen, On Proverbs,  Chap 8, Fragment 1 Prov 8.36
