Origen de Principiis Book III Thou wilt say then, Why doth He yet find fault? For who hath resisted His will? ""The persuasion is of Him that calleth, and not of us."[75] Origen Against Celsus Book VI Moreover, that persuasion does not come from God, although persuasive words may be uttered by him, is distinctly taught by Paul, when he says: "This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you."[293]
