| Ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων... Τοῦτο τό δένδρον τῆς ζωῆς ἐστι τὸ φυτευθὲν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ παραδείσου, οὗ ἂψασθαι μετὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐκωλύθη ὁ Ἀδὰμ, τὰ σπέρματα τῆς δικαιοσύνη, ἀποβαλὼν, ἀφ' ὧν φύεται τὸ δένδρον τῆς ζωῆς. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ ΙΑ´ Source: Migne PG 17.192c |
From the fruit of righteousness the tree of life grows and the unripe souls of trespassers are borne away... 1 This is the tree of life planted in the midst of paradise, 2 which Adam was not permitted to touch after sin, 3 having thrown away the seeds of righteousness from which the tree of of life grows. Origen, On Proverbs, Chap 11 1 Prov 11.30 2 Gen 2.9 3 Gen 3.22 |
