More quotes by Theophilus of Antioch

All years since the creation of the world total 5,698.

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.
