Chapter IV.—God desires not sacrifices, but righteousness.

On the Sole Government of God · Holy Martyr Justin the Philosopher

Again, Plato, in Timæus, says: “But if any one on consideration should actually institute a rigid inquiry, he would be ignorant of the distinction between the human and the divine nature; because God mingles many things up into one, [and again is able to dissolve one into many things,] seeing that He is endued with knowledge and power; but no man either is, or ever shall be, able to perform any of these.”
