[35] ἐπιστεφανῶν δ’ αὐτὸν ὡς ἀγωνιστὴν ἐκνενικηκότα κηρύγματι λαμπροτάτῳ
προσεπικοσμεῖ φάσκων, ὅτι „τῷ θεῷ εὐηρέστησεν“· οὗ τί γένοιτ’ ἂν ἐν τῇ φύσει κρεῖττον; τίς καλοκἀγαθίας ἐναργέστερος ἔλεγχος; εἰ γὰρ οἱ δυσαρεστήσαντες τῷ θεῷ κακοδαίμονες, οἷς εὐαρεστῆσαι συνέβη πάντως ¹ εὐδαίμονες.

De Abrahamo (Greek) (Philo Judaeus. Opera quae supersunt, Volume 4. Cohn, Leonard, editor. Berlin: Reimer, 1902.)

Translations (1)

On the Life of the Wise Man made perfect by Instruction or, on the Unwritten Law, that is to say, on Abraham First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 35 focus

[35] and finally crowning him like a wrestler who has gained a glorious victory, he honours him moreover with a most noble proclamation, saying that "he pleased God," (and what can there be in nature that is more excellent than this panegyric?) which is the most visible proof of excellence; for if they who displease God are miserable, those who please him are by all means happy.
