Collections and Ejections

Τὰ καλὰ συνάγεται εἰς ἄγγη, καὶ τὰ κακὰ ἔξω βάλλεται τῆς σαγήνης, ἐρευνωμένης, φημὶ, τῆς τοῦ Κυρίου Ἐκκλησίας, ἐπειδὴ πάντες τῷ Χριστοῦ ὀνόματι ἐσφαγίσθησαν, καὶ εἰς μίαν ἁρμονίαν ἠνώθησαν. Καὶ συνάγεται μὲν εἰς ἄγγη, τουέστιν εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους μονὰς, τὰ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ διαμείναντα φρονήματα· ἔξω δὲ βάλλεται τῆς βασιλείας, τὰ αἱρετικὰ καὶ τῆς ὀρθῆς δόξης ἀντίθετα. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΣΕ' Διδυμῳ

Things fair are collected together into a vessel and things wicked are thrown out of the net we find, I say, in the Church of the Lord, since everyone sealed with the name of Christ shall be brought into one company. And the collection into the vessel is into the eternal mansions, those souls who have persevered in truth, but heretics and those averse to correct doctrine are thrown outside the kingdom. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 205, to Didymus
