Headword:
Ἄγγελος
Adler number: alpha,196
Translated headword: angel
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The angels are circumscribed only by the comprehension of the intellect; not in space, nor in body, nor in time; for they came into existence before the sun.[1] Scripture calls the servants of retribution "evil angels," just as it calls the day of retribution an "evil day";[2] and it calls the bitter retributions "wrath and anger and affliction" in the hands of God.[3] For it does not say that it is [their] nature or preference.
Greek Original:Ἄγγελος: οἱ ἄγγελοι μόνοι τῇ τοῦ νοὸς καταλήψει εἰσὶ περιγραπτοὶ, οὔτε δὲ ἐν τόπῳ, οὐδὲ ἐν σώματι, οὐδὲ ἐν χρόνῳ: πρὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἡλίου ἡ γένεσις αὐτῶν. ἀγγέλους πονηροὺς τοὺς τῆς τιμωρίας ὑπουργοὺς ἡ γραφὴ καλεῖ: ὥσπερ ἡμέραν πονηρὰν τὴν τῆς τιμωρίας. ὀργὴν δὲ καὶ θυμὸν καὶ θλίψιν ἐπὶ Θεοῦ τὰς πικρὰς τιμωρίας καλεῖ. οὐ γὰρ φύσιν οὐδὲ προαίρεσίν φησιν.
