More quotes by Theophilus of Antioch

When there is rust on the mirror, it is not possible that a man’s face be seen in the mirror; so also when there is sin in a man, such a man cannot behold God.

You have the eyes of your soul clouded over your sins and evil deeds.

Like a shining mirror, so must the soul of man be pure.

When you have laid aside your mortality and clothed yourself with immortality, then you will see God according to your own merits.

For the fact that the blind do not see, it cannot be concluded that the sunlight does not shine. Rightly therefore they attribute their darkness to themselves and to their eyes.
