We find in the prophet Isaiah, that the fire with which\r\neach one is punished is described as his own; for he says,\r\n“Walk in the light of your own fire, and in the flame which\r\nye have kindled.”<a id=\"r319\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f319\"><sup>[319]</sup></a> By these words it seems to be indicated\r\nthat every sinner kindles for himself the flame of his own\r\nfire, and is not plunged into some fire which has been already\r\nkindled by another, or was in existence before himself. Of\r\nthis fire the fuel and food are our sins, which are called by\r\nthe Apostle Paul wood, and hay, and stubble.<a id=\"r320\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f320\"><sup>[320]</sup></a> And I think\r\nthat, as abundance of food, and provisions of a contrary kind\r\nand amount, breed fevers in the body, and fevers, too, of different\r\nsorts and duration, according to the proportion in which\r\nthe collected poison<a id=\"r321\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f321\"><sup>[321]</sup></a> supplies material and fuel for disease\r\n(the quality of this material, gathered together from different\r\npoisons, proving the causes either of a more acute or more\r\nlingering disease); so, when the soul has gathered together\r\na multitude of evil works, and an abundance of sins against\r\nitself, at a suitable time all that assembly of evils boils up to\r\npunishment, and is set on fire to chastisements; when the\r\nmind itself, or conscience, receiving by divine power into the\r\nmemory all those things of which it had stamped on itself\r\ncertain signs and forms at the moment of sinning, will see\r\na kind of history, as it were, of all the foul, and shameful, and\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_141\">141</span>unholy deeds which it has done, exposed before its eyes:\r\nthen is the conscience itself harassed, and, pierced by its own\r\ngoads, becomes an accuser and a witness against itself. And\r\nthis, I think, was the opinion of the Apostle Paul himself,\r\nwhen he said, “Their thoughts mutually accusing or excusing\r\nthem in the day when God will judge the secrets of men\r\nby Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.”<a id=\"r322\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f322\"><sup>[322]</sup></a> From which it\r\nis understood that around the substance of the soul certain\r\ntortures are produced by the hurtful affections of sins themselves.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER X.
