Ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς τὰ ενταῦθα λέγει καλὰ ἡ Γραφὴ, κατὰ μετουσίαν τῶν μελλόντῶν συνωνυμοῦντα· παιδαγωγοῦντος τὴν ἀσθένειαν ἡμῶν πανσόφως τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τῶν αἰσθητῶν χειραγωγοῦντος πρὸς τὰ νοούμενα. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Ἐπιστολὴ ΥΞΘ' Ἱεραξ Source: Migne PG 78.440b |
By goods of the earth 1 Scripture understands things that are fair here, and the participation with which acquires a like name in the future; that is, our lowliness is educated to the height of wisdom by God, and by our understanding of sensible things we are led by the hand to the contemplation of intellectual things. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Letter 419, to Hierax 1 Isai 1.19 |
