We must therefore know that the Paraclete is the Holy\r\nSpirit, who teaches truths which cannot be uttered in words,\r\nand which are, so to speak, unutterable, and “which it is not\r\nlawful for a man to utter,”<a id=\"r256\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f256\"><sup>[256]</sup></a> <i>i.e.</i> which cannot be indicated\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_117\">117</span>by human language. The phrase “it is not lawful” is, we\r\nthink, used by the apostle instead of “it is not possible;” as\r\nalso is the case in the passage where he says, “All things are\r\nlawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things\r\nare lawful for me, but all things edify not.”<a id=\"r257\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f257\"><sup>[257]</sup></a> For those\r\nthings which are in our power because we may have them, he\r\nsays are lawful for us. But the Paraclete, who is called\r\nthe Holy Spirit, is so called from His work of consolation,\r\n<span lang=\"grc\"><i>paraclesis</i></span> being termed in Latin <span lang=\"la\"><i>consolatio</i></span>. For if any one\r\nhas deserved to participate in the Holy Spirit by the knowledge\r\nof His ineffable mysteries, he undoubtedly obtains\r\ncomfort and joy of heart. For since he comes by the\r\nteaching of the Spirit to the knowledge of the reasons of all\r\nthings which happen—how or why they occur—his soul can\r\nin no respect be troubled, or admit any feeling of sorrow;\r\nnor is he alarmed by anything, since, clinging to the Word of\r\nGod and His wisdom, he through the Holy Spirit calls Jesus\r\nLord. And since we have made mention of the Paraclete,\r\nand have explained as we were able what sentiments ought\r\nto be entertained regarding Him; and since our Saviour\r\nalso is called the Paraclete in the Epistle of John, when\r\nhe says, “If any of us sin, we have a Paraclete with the\r\nFather, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He is the propitiation\r\nfor our sins;”<a id=\"r258\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f258\"><sup>[258]</sup></a> let us consider whether this term Paraclete\r\nshould happen to have one meaning when applied to the\r\nSaviour, and another when applied to the Holy Spirit. Now\r\nParaclete, when spoken of the Saviour, seems to mean intercessor.\r\nFor in Greek, Paraclete has both significations—that\r\nof intercessor and comforter. On account, then, of\r\nthe phrase which follows, when he says, “And He is the\r\npropitiation for our sins,” the name Paraclete seems to be\r\nunderstood in the case of our Saviour as meaning intercessor;\r\nfor He is said to intercede with the Father because of our\r\nsins. In the case of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete must be\r\nunderstood in the sense of comforter, inasmuch as He bestows\r\nconsolation upon the souls to whom He openly reveals the\r\napprehension of spiritual knowledge.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER VII.
