The Tree Of Life And Righteousness

Ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων... Τοῦτο τό δένδρον τῆς ζωῆς ἐστι τὸ φυτευθὲν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ παραδείσου, οὗ ἂψασθαι μετὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐκωλύθη ὁ Ἀδὰμ, τὰ σπέρματα τῆς δικαιοσύνη, ἀποβαλὼν, ἀφ' ὧν φύεται τὸ δένδρον τῆς ζωῆς. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ ΙΑ´ Source: Migne PG 17.192c

From the fruit of righteousness the tree of life grows and the unripe souls of trespassers are borne away... 1 This is the tree of life planted in the midst of paradise, 2 which Adam was not permitted to touch after sin, 3 having thrown away the seeds of righteousness from which the tree of of life grows. Origen, On Proverbs, Chap 11 1 Prov 11.30 2 Gen 2.9 3 Gen 3.22
