An Erring Shepherd

Πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὸ διακρίνειν παρὰ Θεοῦ εἰληφὼς, κολασθήσεται, ἐξακολουθήσας ἀπείρῳ ποιμένι, καὶ ψευδῆ δόξαν ὡς ἁληθῆ δεξάμενος· Τίς γὰρ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος;

Ἅγιος Ἀθανάσιος, Περὶ ἄπτων

Every man who has received discernment from God will suffer from following an inexperienced shepherd, one who receives a false opinion as true, 'For what is there in common between light and darkness?' 1

Saint Athanasius, On Amulets, Fragment

1 2 Cor 6.14
