Origen, on Prov 2:5

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Prov 2:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God.”
On this verse:
“Solomon says, "You will find a divine sense." For he knew that there were in us two kinds of senses, the one being mortal, corruptible and human, and the other immortal and intellectual, which here he calls "divine." By this divine sense, therefore, not of the eyes but of a pure heart, that is, the mind, God can be seen by those who are worthy.”
