The Proud And Their Ally


Ὑπερηφάνοις ὁ Θεος ἀντιτάσσεται, ἐπειδὴ καὶ τῷ ἄρχοντι αὐτῶν ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀντετάξατο. Σκόπει τοίνυν ὅσον ἐστὶ καὶ Θεὸν ἔχειν ἀντίμαχον, καὶ τὸν ἀρχαῖον ἀντάρτην συμμέτοχον.

Ἅγιος Ἰσιδορου Του Πηλουσιωτου, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΡΞΔ', Μαρτυριῳ

God resists the proud. 1 Since the beginning he has opposed their prince. See, then, how grave a matter it is to have God as an opponent and to be an ally of the old enemy.

Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1 Letter 164, to Martyrius 

1 Prov 3.34
