Knowledge And God



ἄβυσσος ὡς ἱμάτιον τὸ περιβόλαιον αὐτοῦ

Τὴν ἀμέτρητον τοῦ Θεοῦ γνῶσιν λέγει ἄβυσσον· ταύτην διὰ τὴν ἀκατάληπτον καλλωνὴν ἐνδέδυται καὶ περιβέβληται. Διόπερ ἐστὶν ἄγνωστος ἐν τῷ μεγέθει τῆς γνώσεως.


Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΡΓ'

Migne PG 39.1525 
The abyss like a garment He wears. 1
 
The immeasurable knowledge of God he names the abyss, and with this incomprehensible beauty He is endowed and wrapped. So He is unknown in the immensity of knowledge.


Didymus the Blind, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 103

1 Ps 103.6
