Different Lights

Λύχνος τοῖς ποσίν μου ὁ λόγος σου καὶ φῶς ταῖς τρίβοις μου... Λύκνος ὁ νόμος ἐστὶ τοῖς πρὸ τῆς ἀνατολῆς τοῦ ἡλίου τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἐν νυκτὶ βαδίζουσι, τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ φωτὸς οὐ λύχνου ὄντος, ἀλλ' ἡλίου φωτίζοντος ἐκείνους, οἶς προέκοψεν ἡ νύξ· εγγισάσης τῆς ἡμέρας εὐσχημόνως περιπατειν ἐστιν. Δυδύμος του Ἀλεξανδρέως, Εἰς Ψαλμοὺς, Ψαλμός ΡΙΗ’ Source: Migne PG 39.1575b

Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my paths... 1 The law is a lamp for those who walk in the night, on whom the sun of righteousness has yet to rise. The true light is not a lamp, but it is the sun enlightening those for whom the night is passing away, and they walk as befits those for whom the day nears. 2 Didymus the Blind, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 118 1 Ps 118.105 2 Rom 13.12-13
