《Adv. Herm. 5, CSEL. 47.132-7-10; ANF 3.480》
For we shall be even gods, if we shall deserve to be amongst those of whom he declared, “I have said, you are all gods” (Ps. 82:6) and “God stands in the congregation f the gods” (Ps. 82:1). But this comes of his own grace, not from any property in us, because it is he alone who can make gods.
若我們配成為那些他(神)所謂的‘我曾說,你們是眾神(複數,gods)’(詩篇82:6)和‘神站在眾神的會眾間’(詩篇82:1),我們就能夠成為眾神(複數,gods)。但這乃是因為祂的恩典,而不是因為在我們裡面有任何的特質,因為只有祂,能夠造出眾神(複數,gods)來。
