That the working of the Father and the Son operates\r\nboth in saints and in sinners, is manifest from this, that all who\r\nare rational beings are partakers of the word, <i>i.e.</i> of reason,\r\nand by this means bear certain seeds, implanted within them,\r\nof wisdom and justice, which is Christ. Now, in Him who\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_38\">38</span>truly exists, and who said by Moses, “I am what I am,”<a id=\"r91\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f91\"><sup>[91]</sup></a> all\r\nthings, whatever they are, participate; which participation in\r\nGod the Father is shared both by just men and sinners, by\r\nrational and irrational beings, and by all things universally\r\nwhich exist. The Apostle Paul also shows truly that all\r\nhave a share in Christ, when he says, “Say not in thine\r\nheart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (<i>i.e.</i> to bring Christ\r\ndown from above;) or who shall descend into the deep?\r\n(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what\r\nsaith the Scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy\r\nmouth, and in thy heart.”<a id=\"r92\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f92\"><sup>[92]</sup></a> By which he means that Christ\r\nis in the heart of all, in respect of His being the word or\r\nreason, by participating in which they are rational beings.\r\nThat declaration also in the Gospel, “If I had not come\r\nand spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they\r\nhave no excuse for their sin,”<a id=\"r93\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f93\"><sup>[93]</sup></a> renders it manifest and patent\r\nto all who have a rational knowledge of how long a time\r\nman is without sin, and from what period he is liable to it,\r\nhow, by participating in the word or reason, men are said to\r\nhave sinned, viz. from the time they are made capable of\r\nunderstanding and knowledge, when the reason implanted\r\nwithin has suggested to them the difference between good\r\nand evil; and after they have already begun to know what\r\nevil is, they are made liable to sin, if they commit it. And\r\nthis is the meaning of the expression, that “men have no\r\nexcuse for their sin,” viz. that, from the time the divine\r\nword or reason has begun to show them internally the\r\ndifference between good and evil, they ought to avoid and\r\nguard against that which is wicked: “For to him who\r\nknoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”<a id=\"r94\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f94\"><sup>[94]</sup></a>\r\nMoreover, that all men are not without communion with\r\nGod, is taught in the Gospel thus, by the Saviour’s words:\r\n“The kingdom of God cometh not with observation; neither\r\nshall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! but the kingdom of\r\nGod is within you.”<a id=\"r95\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f95\"><sup>[95]</sup></a> But here we must see whether this\r\ndoes not bear the same meaning with the expression in\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_39\">39</span>Genesis: “And He breathed into his face the breath of life,\r\nand man became a living soul.”<a id=\"r96\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f96\"><sup>[96]</sup></a> For if this be understood\r\nas applying generally to all men, then all men have a share\r\nin God.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER III.
