Scripture And Ignorance


Ἐπιφάνιος εἶπε πάλιν, ὅτι μεγάλη ἀσφάλεια πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν, τῶν Γραγῶν ἡ ἀνάγνωσις. 

Εἶπε πάλιν, ὅτι μέγας κρημνὸς καὶ βαθὺ βάραθρον, τῶν Γραφῶν ἡ ἄγνοια.

Ἄποφθέγματα των Αγίων Γερόντων, Παλλάδιος Ελενουπόλεως

Epiphanios said, 'A grave fault inclining to sin is ignorance of the Scriptures.' 

Again he said, 'A great cliff and a deep pit is ignorance of the Scriptures.'
