Οὐκ ὀφθήσῃ ἐνώπιόν μου κενός. Ἴσθι ὅτι πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἢ κενὸς ἐστὶν, ἢ πλήρης· εἰ μὲν γὰρ οὐκ ἔχει ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, οὐκ ἔχει γνῶσιν τοῦ κτίσαντος, οὐ παρεδέξατο τὴν ζωὴν Ἰησοῦν τὸν Χριστὸν· εἰ οὐκ οἶδε τὸν Πατέρα τὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· εἰ οὐ βιοῖ κατὰ τὸν λόγον, κατὰ νόμον τὸν οὐράνιον, οὐ σωφρονεῖ, οὐ δικαιοπραγεῖ· ὁ τοιοῦτος κενός ἐστιν· εἰ δὲ κεχώρηκε τὸν εἰπόντα Θεὸν, ἐνοικήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐμπεριπατήσω, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς Θεὸς, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστι κενὸς, ἀλλὰ πλήρης. Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Την Ἐξοδον Source: Migne PG 12.296c |
You shall not appear empty before me. 1 Know that every man is either empty or full. For if he does not have the Holy Spirit, he does not have the knowledge of the Creator, he does not receive the living Jesus Christ. If he does not know the Father who is in heaven, if he does not live according to the Word, according to the heavenly law, he is not wise, he is not righteous, he is a man who is empty. But if he has the God who says: 'I shall dwell and walk among them and I shall be their God,' 2 he is not empty but full. Origen, On Exodus, Fragment 1 Exod 23.15 2 Levit 26.12,2 Cor 6.16 |
