Provérbios 15
Origen of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Provérbios 15:17
Better is the hospitality of vegetables served with friendship and grace than a fatted calf served with enmity. Often we accept simpler, more frugal hospitality offered in good conscience—as guests at the table of those who are unable to furnish us with more—in preference to elevated words "lifted up against the knowledge of God" and proclaiming with ample plausibility a sentiment alien to the Father of our Lord Jesus who has given the law and the prophets. — ON PRAYER 27:6
Provérbios 15:26
If every evil word is an abomination to the Lord your God, how great an abomination must be supposed the evil word of denial and the evil word of publicly proclaiming another god and the evil oath by the fortune of people, something that has no existence. — EXHORTATION TO MARTYRDOM 7
Provérbios 15:32
We are not harsh toward the impenitent. They are wicked to themselves, for those that spurn instruction hate themselves. Yet even in such cases we should seek in every way that healing come to those who are so completely perverted as not even to be conscious of their own ills and drunk with a drunkenness more fatal than that from wine, the drunkenness that comes from the darkness of evil. — ON PRAYER 28:7
