Knowledge And Faith

Ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὴν ἀλήθειαν, οὔτε ἀληθῶς πιστεύειν δύναται. Ἡ γὰρ γνῶσις κατὰ φύσιν προηγεῖται τῆς πίστεως.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ

Source: Migne PG 65.920a
He who does not know the truth cannot truly have faith, for according to nature knowledge precedes faith.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law.
