[160] τὰ γὰρ πρὸς γένεσιν τῶν πρὸς θεὸν μακρὰν ἀπέζευκται· τῇ μὲν γὰρ τὰ φανερὰ μόνα, τῷ δὲ καὶ τὰ
ἀφανῆ γνώριμα. παραπαίει δ’, ὃς ἂν τοῦ ἀληθοῦς καταψευδόμενος ἔτ’ ἀδικῶν μετανενοηκέναι φάσκῃ· ὅμοιον ὡς εἰ καὶ ὁ νοσῶν τὸν p. 570 M. ὑγιαίνοντα καθυποκρίνοιτο· μᾶλλον γάρ, ὡς ἔοικε, νοσήσει μηδὲν τῶν εἰς ὑγίειαν προσφόρων ἐπιτηδεύειν ἀξιῶν.

[160] For the things which relate to the creature are very ¹² far removed from the things which relate to God; for to the creature only those things which are visible are known, but to God, even those things also which are invisible. And that man is crazy who, speaking falsely instead of truly, while still committing iniquity, asserts that he has repented. It is like as if one who had a disease were to pretend that he was in good health; for he, as it seems, will only get more sick, since he does not choose to apply any of the remedies which are conducive to health.
