It may also be observed, that the precept enjoining\r\npatience under injuries is in no way corrupted or degraded by\r\nthe plain and simple language which our Lord employs, but\r\nthat in this, as in other cases, it is a mere calumny against our\r\nreligion which he utters when he says: “But let this suffice as\r\none example of the way in which this and other truths have\r\nbeen borrowed and corrupted. Any one who wishes can easily\r\nby searching find more of them.”</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VII.","Chapter LXI."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-538"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"a99e91488472fd283b043ae8ea6c6d825c92697c13967bb97d6ddc5ef60bbbbb","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
