simple.4443

[The aphoristic force of these “heads” is often striking in
the original; e.g., “Dei arcana perspici non posse, et ideo fidem
nostram simplicem esse debere.”] |
In the first Epistle of Paul to the
Corinthians: “We see now through the glass in an enigma,
but then with face to face. Now I know partly; but then I shall
know even as also I am known.”4444
Also in Solomon, in
Wisdom: “And in simplicity of heart seek
Him.”4445
Also in
the same: “He who walketh with simplicity, walketh
trustfully.”4446
Also in the same:
“Seek not things higher than thyself, and look not into things
stronger than thyself.”4447
Also in Solomon: “Be
not excessively righteous, and do not reason more than is
required.”4448
Also in Isaiah: “Woe unto them who are convicted in
themselves.”4449
Also in the Maccabees:
“Daniel in his simplicity was delivered from the mouth of the
lions.”4450
Also in
the Epistle of Paul to the Romans: “Oh the depth of the
riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible
are His judgments, and how unsearchable are His ways! For who has
known the mind of the Lord? or who has been His counsellor? or who has
first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
Because from Him, and through Him, and in Him, are all things: to
Him be glory for ever and ever.”4451
Also to Timothy: “But
foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they generate
strifes. But the servant of God ought not to strive, but to be
gentle towards all men.”4452
