| Ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ Ὁ δὲ συνετὸς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου τοῦ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν, ὁδοὶ ζωῆς, διανοήματα θείων λόγων καὶ ἔργων· ὁ δὲ συνετὸς ἀεὶ ταῦτα ποιεῖ καὶ διδάσκει, ἵνα σὺν τοῖς μαθητιῶσιν ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθᾗ. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ ΚΗ' Source: Migne PG 17.193c |
The thoughts of a man of understanding are the ways of life, that turning from hell he might be saved. 1 The man of understanding is not in the hell of sinners. The ways of life are meditations on the Divine words and works. And the wise man always does and teaches these things, so that with his pupils, turning from hell, he might be saved. Origen, On Proverbs 1 Prov 15.24 |
