Origen

  • “He is not aware that among the prohibitions of the divine law is this, “Thou shalt not revile the gods,” and this is intended to prevent the formation of the habit of reviling any one whatever; for we have been taught, “Bless, and curse not,” and it is said that “revilers shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”” — editor's note: Ex. xxii. 28 [θεοὺς οὐ κακολογήσεις, Sept. S.].

  • “If the honour of the priesthood and respect for your title did not restrain me, and if I did not know what the Apostle says, “I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people,” how loudly and indignantly might I complain of what you relate!” — editor's note: Acts xxiii. 5; Ex. xxii. 28.
