But we have already gone through many words about these; let us learn the truth of the other oracles. These are the words of the same prophet: 'Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In that day a man will trust in the one who made him, and his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel; and they will not trust in the altars nor in the works of their hands, which their fingers made; and they will no longer see

the trees nor their abominations.' The prophet foretold this more than a thousand years before the reign of Constantine, after which the precincts of the demons were destroyed. But the God-bearing man saw from afar as present and foretold what would happen after so long a time; while the Dodonaean and the Pythian did not even foretell what would happen after three months as it was to happen, but gave oracles leaning this way and that.
Isa 17:8 (quotation, high confidence)
Notes and citation
Summary: Isaiah foresaw events a thousand years ahead; the oracles not even three months.

Hear what follows too: 'Return, you who devise deep counsel and lawlessness, sons of Israel; for in that day people will cast away their handmade things of silver and gold, which their hands made.' And again: 'I am God, the first, and for what is to come I am he. The nations saw and feared; the ends of the earth were amazed; they drew near and came, each deciding to help his neighbor and his brother. And he will say: The carpenter has grown strong, and the smith striking with the hammer, driving at the same time. At one time he will say: It is a good joint; they fastened it with nails; they will set it up, and it will not be moved.'

For they can neither stand unless nailed nor walk unless carried by others. And again: 'Jacob my servant, I will help him; Israel my chosen, my soul has accepted him. I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring forth judgment to the nations; he will not cry out nor raise his voice, nor will his voice be heard outside; a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoking wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth judgment for truth; he will shine forth and not be crushed until he sets judgment on the earth; and in his name the nations will hope. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, who made the heaven and fixed it, who made firm the earth and what is in it, and gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk on it: I, the Lord God, have called you in righteousness, and I will hold your hand and strengthen you, and I have given you as a covenant of the race, as a light of the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out from bonds those who are bound and from the prison house those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord God; this is my name; my glory I will not give to another, nor my praises to carved images.'

The God of the universe said this to Christ the Lord as to a man, naming him Jacob and Israel from the visible nature; for according to the flesh he rose from that race; and he showed clearly his gentleness and long-suffering, which he used when abused by the Jews. He said he was given as a covenant of the race; for he promised salvation through him to the patriarchs and to the Jews themselves.

He said he would also rise as a light of the nations, so as to open the eyes of the blind, break the bonds of the fettered, and free from the darkness those sitting in the gloom of ignorance as in a prison.

That he so named those enslaved to the error of superstition, what follows bears witness: 'I am the Lord God; this is my name; my glory I will not give to another, nor my praises to carved images.' For as soon as he appeared he stripped them of the title which they had seized and put on themselves. And a little later he said again: 'The Lord God of hosts will go forth to crush war, to stir up zeal, and will shout against his enemies with strength.' Then he teaches why he did not do this long ago, and says: 'I have kept silent from eternity; shall I always keep silent and hold back? I have endured like a woman in labor; I will astonish and dry up at once.

'And I will lead the blind in a way they did not know, and paths which they did not know I will make them tread.' For those who wandered of old did not know the way of truth; but having the apostles as guides, leaders, and also illuminators, they left the paths of error and recognized the way of truth.

'I will make darkness into light for them, and the crooked into straight.' For instead of the former darkness they enjoy the spiritual light, and leaving the twisted ways, they walk the straight. Then he rebukes those still wandering: 'Be put to shame with shame, you who trust in carved images, who say to molten images: You are our gods.' And a little later: 'Behold, I do new things, which will now spring up, and you shall know them; and I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race, my people whom I acquired, to tell my praises.' He now called his race those who have believed, of whom he was named firstborn because of the flesh he assumed.

He did not call 'arm' a bodily part (for the divine nature is simple and free of composition), but figuratively indicated strength.

And all the other prophets foretell these things. But I thought it a side-task to collect all the predictions; for I would have needed many books, both writing them all and saying what is fitting about each. It is enough for you, if you wish, to recognize from those you have heard the truth of the others too. For these are clear and true, and like vivid images of the facts.
Notes and citation
Summary: The prophecies cited suffice to show the truth of all.

Just as one could more easily learn the art of the best painters by setting the image beside the true and original features, so you too must set the prophecy, as a kind of model sketched beforehand by the wisest of painters, beside the facts now accomplished, and behold the exactness of the likeness.

For of old, before the prophecy received its fulfillment, it took some labor to persuade the people of the time that the oracles were true; but since we now see accomplished what was foretold long, long ago, and those words become facts, we need no labor to persuade the ears. For they have the eyes as witnesses; and Herodotus is superfluous to us when he says that 'ears are less trustworthy for human beings than eyes'. For the eyes see what the ears hear.

idols?' For the choirs of the prophets are temples of God; idols are the dumb things worshiped by the nations, about which the divine Spirit says: 'The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of human hands. They have mouths and will not speak; they have eyes and will not see; they have ears and will not hear; they have noses and will not smell; they have hands and will not feel; they have feet and will not walk; they will not utter a sound in their throat; for there is no breath in their mouth. May those who make them become like them, and all who trust in them.' May it be granted you to learn the truth and not share in the prophetic curse.

You have perhaps heard, men, of that Aristippus, the grandson, through his daughter, of Aristippus the companion of Socrates. He lived with his mother, who practised philosophy, and gained a very large share of philosophy. He also received a name made up from the fact; for they called him 'Mother-taught'
Notes and citation
Summary: Theodoret opens his discourse on the end of life with the younger Aristippus, taught philosophy by his mother.
- The younger Aristippus, called Metrodidaktos (“taught by his mother”), was the grandson of Aristippus of Cyrene through Arete.

This affliction befalls you because you perhaps think these teachings profitless. For they do not promise Syracusan luxury, nor a slack and soft-living life, nor that much-desired wealth … and the flood of his streams, but sweat and toil and a laborious way of life.
Notes and citation
Summary: The Greeks think Christian teaching profitless because it promises toil, not luxury and wealth.
- A name seems to be lost before “that much-desired wealth” (the printed υτὸν); the “flood of his streams” suggests a proverbially rich man, perhaps Croesus and the Pactolus; uncertain.

But I will make these things plain to you too, as far as I am able and you are able to take in, using again the torchlight of the divine oracles. I think it useful now as well to set the opinions of the philosophers side by side with the doctrines of the divine Gospels, so that you may know what end those men defined and what the divine words promise.

Epicurus, then, defined the end as living most pleasantly; for he held pleasure alone to be the perfect good. Democritus of Abdera, the father of his doctrines, put cheerfulness in place of pleasure, making an exchange of names, not of doctrines.
Notes and citation
Summary: Epicurus made pleasure the end, and Democritus, his forerunner, called the same thing cheerfulness.

And Heraclitus of Ephesus changed the name but kept the meaning; for in place of pleasure he put contentment. This definition also carries another implication. For he set down contentment without defining it, and did not show its quality. But the judgements of men differ: some are pleased by temperance, others by the vice opposed to it; some by incontinence, others by self-control; these by an unjust and grasping life, those by a just one. So he defined as the end what pleases each person and is pleasant and lovable to him, putting contentment in place of pleasure.
Notes and citation
Summary: Heraclitus made contentment the end, which, being undefined, amounts to whatever pleases each person.

The much-talked-of Pythagoras took the most perfect knowledge of numbers to be the final good; Hecataeus, self-sufficiency; Antisthenes, freedom from vanity; and Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, contemplation as the way of life and the freedom that comes from it, laying down a definition fitting for a philosopher. For truly the greatest good is to understand the nature of things, to despise what passes away, and to keep the soul unenslaved and free.
Notes and citation
Summary: Pythagoras, Hecataeus, Antisthenes and Anaxagoras each named a different final good; Anaxagoras's contemplation and freedom is the most fitting.

But Plato son of Ariston outdid even him by the loftiness of his definition; for he defined the end of goods as 'to become like God as far as possible'. Praiseworthy indeed is the exhortation to imitate the divine; but the addition 'as far as possible' made the definition still more admirable. For it is not possible to become like God in every respect. For how could one who is visible become like the invisible, one who is small and bounded in a small place like the unbounded who holds creation together, one who is recent like the eternal, and one unable to make even a cubit's breadth of heaven like him who fashioned all things?
Notes and citation
Summary: Plato's definition of the end, likeness to God as far as possible, is admirable, because no creature can be like God in every respect.

Therefore it is not possible to imitate that nature, nor the power, nor indeed the wisdom; but it is possible in some way to take impressions of [his being] good and just and gentle and loving toward humankind. For the Master Christ too set this imitation before those who aim at perfection: 'Be merciful,' he says, 'as your heavenly Father also is merciful; for he makes his sun rise on the wicked and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.'
Luke 6:36 (quotation, high confidence) · Matt 5:45 (quotation, high confidence) · Matt 5:48 (allusion, low confidence)

And Plato's teacher too, Socrates son of Sophroniscus, used to call happy not the man flowing with wealth and borne along by favouring winds, but the man adorned with justice; and he called impious those who separate the advantageous from the just; for he said that the just alone is advantageous.
Notes and citation
Summary: Socrates called the just man happy and held that only the just is truly advantageous.

But the orators would not listen to these words; for they said that the just is something other than the advantageous, in this way showing the advantageous to be disadvantageous. For what is separated from the just is surely unjust; and the unjust is harmful; and the harmful could not fittingly be called advantageous.
Notes and citation
Summary: The orators who separated justice from advantage contradicted themselves, for the unjust is harmful.

Plato and Socrates, then, said things that agree and deserve praise. But Aristotle, though he shared in Plato's teaching, did not profit from these doctrines, but said that happiness is made up of three kinds of goods: those of the soul, those of the body, and external ones. For he said that the happy man must not only be adorned with virtue, but also have strength, shine with beauty and abound in wealth; and that one deprived of any of these is by no means to be called happy.
Notes and citation
Summary: Aristotle departed from Plato by requiring bodily and external goods, besides virtue, for happiness.

Or rather he followed, as it seems, the poet Simonides; for he said: 'For a man, to be healthy is best; second, to be born fair in form; third, to be rich without deceit.' And Theognis too urges men to flee poverty, and says: 'Fleeing poverty one must throw oneself even into the deep-gulfed sea

and down from steep rocks, Cyrnus.' The Stoics voted directly against these. For they defined the end as living in accordance with nature, and said that the soul is neither helped nor harmed by the body. For neither does health force it to virtue against its will, nor does disease drag it down to vice against its judgement; for they said these things are indifferent. But this point of theirs is very bold: for they said that man and God have the same virtue.

Epicurus, taking the road opposite to these, defined happiness as neither hungering nor thirsting, and said that the one who enjoys these could fight even with the Father; so did his love of pleasure train him into impiety. For let no one look only at the name he ridiculed, I mean Zeus; for it was with the God of all in mind that he dared this blasphemy.
Notes and citation
Summary: Epicurus defined happiness as freedom from hunger and thirst and boasted that one who had it could rival Zeus, a blasphemy aimed, Theodoret says, at God himself.
- Epicurus's saying (fr. 602 Usener) is that whoever has bread and water could rival Zeus himself in happiness; Clement, Miscellanies 2.21.131 has “Zeus”, the text here “the Father”.
