Deeds And The Virtuous Man

Ὁ τὰς ἀρετας ἐν ἑαυτῷ καθιδρύσας, καὶ ταύταις ὅλος ἀνακραθείς, οὐκ ἔτι μέμνηται νόμου ἢ ἐντολῶν ἢ κολάσεως, ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λέγει καὶ πράττει ὁπόσα ἡ ἀρίστη ἕχις ὑπαγορεύει. Εὐάγριος ὁ Ποντικός, Ὁ Πρακτικός Source: Migne PG 40 1232

One who has established the virtues in himself and is entirely permeated with them no longer tries to be mindful of the law or the commandments, or punishment. Rather, he says and does what his excellent condition suggests. Evagrius Ponticus, from The Praktikos
