And therefore holy Scripture teaches us to receive\r\nall that happens as sent by God, knowing that without Him\r\nno event occurs. For how can we doubt that such is the\r\ncase, viz. that nothing comes to man without [the will of]\r\nGod, when our Lord and Saviour declares, “Are not two\r\nsparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall\r\non the ground without your Father who is in heaven.”<a id=\"r662\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f662\"><sup>[662]</sup></a>\r\nBut the necessity of the case has drawn us away in a\r\nlengthened digression on the subject of the struggle waged\r\nby the hostile powers against men, and of those sadder\r\nevents which happen to human life, <i>i.e.</i> its temptations—according\r\nto the declaration of Job, “Is not the whole life\r\nof man upon the earth a temptation?”<a id=\"r663\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f663\"><sup>[663]</sup></a>—in order that the\r\nmanner of their occurrence, and the spirit in which we\r\nshould regard them, might be clearly shown. Let us notice\r\nnext, how men fall away into the sin of false knowledge, or\r\nwith what object the opposing powers are wont to stir up\r\nconflict with us regarding such things.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER II.
