Wickedness And Judgement

θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ καλόν οὐδὲ ὅσιον ἐκκλίνειν τὸ δίκαιον ἐν κρίσει. Ὁ τὴν ὑπάρχουσαν τῷ διαβόλῳ κακίαν ἀποδεχόμενος, καὶ κατ' αὐτὴν ἐνεργῶν θεωρίᾳ καὶ λόγῳ, οὗτος θαυμάζει τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς· τὸ δίκαιον δὲ ἐν κρίσει, ἐν λόγῳ τε σωμάτων, οὐ καλὸν ἐκκλῖναι ὅσιον. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας  Source: Migne PG 17.204a

To admire the person of a godless man is not good, nor is it holy to fall from righteousness in judgement.1 He who by his own evil receives the devil into himself, thus thinking and pondering according to his rule, is the one who admires the person of the godless. It is not good for righteousness in judgement, nor the appraisal of corporeal things, to fall from holiness. Origen, On Proverbs, Fragment 1 Prov 18.5 LXX
