| Ἀποστραφεὶς ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς σοφιστὰς, καὶ τέκτονας τῶν λόγων τῶν μεματαιωμένων, καὶ παντὸς ψεύδους, καὶ πλάνης ἀνάπλεων, σκυτοτόμοις τισὶ, καὶ ἁλιεῦσι τὸ οἰκεῖον σωτηριῶδες, καὶ ὑπέρλαμπρον τῆς εὐσεβείας καὶ τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἐνεχείρισε κήρυγμα. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΣΘ' Θυρσῳ Σκρηνιαριῳ Source: Migne PG 79.160c |
God is averse to sophists and the fashioners of vain speeches, and every lie and deception of ensnarers, He who gave to leather workers and fishermen His salvation and most splendid piety and the preaching of righteousness. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 209 to Thyrsus The Scriniarius |
