The Scorned Man

Ὁ ἀθετούμενος ὑπὸ τινος, καὶ μήτε λόγῳ, μήτε ἐννοίᾳ τῷ ἀθετοῦντι φιλονεικῶν, γνῶσιν ἀλεηθῆ κέκτηται, καὶ πίστιν βεβαίαν ἐπιδείκνυται τῷ Δεσπότῃ.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι

Source: Migne PG 65.948b
He who is scorned by another and does not dispute with him in word or thought, he is in possession of true knowledge and exhibits firm faith in the Lord.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works
