Resolving A Difficulty

Μὴ πειρῶ πρᾶγμα σκολιὸν ἐπιλῦσαι διὰ φιλονεικίας, ἀλλὰ δι' ὧν ὁ πνευματικὸς παρακελεύεται νόμος, δι' ὑπομονῆς, καὶ προσευχῆς, καὶ μονολογίστου ἐλπίδος. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ Source: Migne PG 65.905c

Do not try to resolve some difficult matter by contention, but by means of what the spiritual law exhorts, which is patience and prayer and single minded hope. Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law.
