Chapter XIV.—Simon
Refuted.
“But if, as you say, it will be possible to
know Him, because He is now revealed to all through Jesus,1384
| 1384 The text is
corrupt. We have placed διὰ τὸ after εἰδέναι. | are you not stating what is most
unjust, when you say that these men did not know Him, who were the
seven pillars of the world, and who were able to please the most just
God, and that so many now from all nations who were impious know Him in
every respect? Were not those who were superior to every one not
deemed worthy to know Him?1385
| 1385 Another reading
is: “Were not those deemed better worthy than any one else
to know Him?” | And how
can that be good which is not just? unless you wish to give the name of
‘good,’ not to him who does good to those who act justly,
but to him who loves the unjust, even though they do not believe, and
reveals to them the secrets which he would not reveal to the
just. But such conduct is befitting neither in one who is good
nor just, but in one who has come to hate the pious. Are not you,
Simon, the standing one, who have the boldness to make these statements
which never have been so made before?”
