Shipwrecks and Sterile Fruit

Ὁ παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας περιφερόμενος, ναυαγήσας περὶ τὴν πίστιν, ὡς ὑπ' ἀνέμῳ ἑαυτόν τε καὶ ἄλλους ποιμάνας, ἀπώλεσεν· ἀπέλιπε γὰρ τῶν ἐντολῶν τὰς ὁδοὺς, τοῦ εἰπόντος, Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἄμπελος, ὑμεῐς τὰ κλήματα, καὶ ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ γεωργός. Ὁ μὴ συνάγων σὺν ταῖς ἀρεταϊς τὴν θείαν γνῶσιν, οὗτος οὐ συνάγει τῆς αἰνωνίου βασιλείας τὴν ἀθάνατον εὑκαρπίαν· ἀκαρπία δέ ἐστι κακία καὶ ἄγνοια. Ὠριγένης, Εκλογαι Εἰς Παροιμίας

He who is carried away by every wind of teaching 1 makes a shipwreck of the faith and like a storm he ruins those others that he shepherds. For he has left the way of His commandments who said, 'I am the vine and you are the branches,' 2 and 'my Father is the farmer.' 3 He who does not heap up Divine knowledge with the virtues, does not heap up the immortal fruit of the eternal kingdom. He is sterile, wicked and ignorant. 1 Origen, On Proverbs, Fragments 1 Prov 9.12 LXX 2 Jn 15.5 3. Jn 15.1
