Resting In Peace

Ἐν δὲ ἀναπαύσει ᾅδου ἐκοιμήθησαν.

Ἐν δὲ ἀναπαύσει οὐκ οὐρανοῦ, ἀλλ' ᾅδου ἐκοιμήθησαν. Ἡμεῖς δὲ εὐχόμεθα οὐκ ἐν ἀναπαύσει ᾅδου κοιμηθῆναι, ἀλλ' ἐν ἀναπαύσει Θεοῦ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς τοῖς ἁγίοις μετὰ Χριστοῦ βασιλεύοντος ἡμῶν.

Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Τον Ιὠβ

They rest in hell in peace. 1

But not in the peace of heaven, for they rest in hell. We pray that we not be at peace resting in hell, but in the peace of God, in the heavens with the saints and with Christ our king.

Origen, On Job, Fragment

1 Job 13.13
