What the Fathers say

Job 22:2

Western Saints

Gregory the Dialogist

Can a man be compared unto God, even when he has perfect knowledge? By comparison with God, our knowledge is ignorance, for it is by participation, and not by comparison, with God that we become imbued with wisdom. What wonder then when that is said, as if in the way of instruction, which might have been known, even if it had been kept silent?
