Light And Fire



Ἵνα ᾗ Θεὸς πάντα ἐν πᾶσι φῶς μὲν τοῖς ἀξίοις τοῦ φωτὸς, πῦρ δὲ κολαστήριον τοῖς ἀξίοις τῆς αἰωνίου κολάσεως.

Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΜΖ' Δοσιθεῳ

Source: Migne PG 79 104c
That God be everything to everyone, He is indeed light to those worthy of light but a punishing fire to those worthy of eternal punishment.

Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 48 To Dositheus
