Faith and the Resurrection


Ὥσπερ τῷ μεγάλῳ Ἀβραὰμ ἡ πίστις λελόγισται εἰς δικαιοσύνην, οὕτω καὶ σοι πιστεύονται εἰς νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν, εἴπερ καὶ πιστεύσειας, δικαιοσύνη παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ μεγάλη λογισθήσεται.

Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΡΙ', Ἀφθονιῳ Σαμαριτῃ
As faith was reputed as righteousness to great Abraham, so belief in the resurrection of the dead will be to you, since if you have faith it shall be reputed as great righteousness to you.


Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 110, To Afthonius the Samaritan
