Origen on relativism

"If piety and holiness and righteousness are reckoned to be relative, so that one and the same thing is pious and impious under differing conditions and laws, consider whether we should not logically reckon self-control also as relative, and courage, intelligence, knowledge, and the other virtues. Nothing could be more absurd than this." (Con. Cel. V,28)
