Philoxenus of Mabbug — on Phil 2:7 (13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 5 -- Second Discourse on Simplicity)

“The Apostle Paul considered Him as one "of no reputation", and the crucifiers considered Him to lack understanding, and His enemies accounted Him to be without knowledge and intelligence, and concerning Jesus Paul spake against them, "The foolishness of God is wiser than the children of men." For in order that it may not weigh heavily upon thee to be thought contemptible in thy simplicity by the children of men, God Himself hath shewn Himself to be of "no reputation", in that He stood before His questioners without answering a word; and He was thought by them to be an ignorant man because He returned them not an answer. Wherefore do thou also persist in the power of thy soul, and transgress not the law of simplicity, even though thou be considered to be a fool by every man, and art esteemed to be without knowledge and instruction.”
