Houses And Inheritance


Ό μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ, κληρονομήσει ἀνέμους.

Οἶκος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν ἐν ᾧ κινούμεθα καὶ ἐσμεν. Ὁ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς οὖν τοῦ Θεοῦ μὴ περιπατῶν συγκληρονόμενος ἔσται τῶν ἐναντίων δυνάμεων.

Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ' ΙΑ'


Source: Migne PG 13 32b
He who does not attend to his own house shall inherit the wind. 1

Our house is God in whom we move and have our being. 2 He, then, who does not walk in the commandments of God shall be an inheritor of the opposing powers.


Origen, On Proverbs, Fragment

1 Prov 11.29
2 Acts 17.28
