Gregory of Nyssa: "[...]that which is contrary to this was pointed out there by means of silence.”


Having noted in the aforementioned psalm (4,8), therefore, that the goal (τέλος) of virtue is peace, rest, and the abode which is simple and unmingled with the passions, which is attained on the basis of the hope of participating in God (τοῦ θεοῦ μετουσίας), that which is contrary to this was pointed out there by means of silence.” (In Ins., GNO 36-37)
