Origen, on Ezek 16:52
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Ezek 16:52 · Douay-Rheims
“Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.”
On this verse:
“It is an infamy to be separated from the people of God and from the church; it is a dishonor in the church to leave the bench of presbyters, to be expelled from the rank of the diaconate.”
