Spiritual Gifts and Church Order
Justin Martyr, First Apology 6
It is for this reason that we are called atheists, and we acknowledge that we are atheists with respect to the gods commonly believed to exist. Yet we are not atheists with respect to the truest God, the Father of justice and self‑control and the other virtues, the God completely unmingled with evil. That God we revere and worship, along with His Son who came from Him and taught us these things, and the host of good angels who follow and are conformed to them, and the prophetic Spirit. We honor them with word and truth, and we pass on these teachings freely to anyone who wishes to learn, just as we ourselves were taught.
Greek
Ἔνθεν δὲ καὶ ἄθεοι κεκλήμεθα· καὶ ὁμολογοῦμεν τῶν τοιούτων νομιζομένων θεῶν ἄθεοι εἶναι, ἀλλ᾿ οὐχὶ τοῦ ἀληθεστάτου καὶ πατρὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ σωφροσύνης καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀρετῶν ἀνεπιμίκτου τε κακίας θεοῦ· ἀλλ᾿ ἐκεῖνόν τε καὶ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ υἱὸν ἐλθόντα καὶ διδάξαντα ἡμᾶς ταῦτα, καὶ τὸν τῶν ἄλλων ἑπομένων καὶ ἐξομοιουμένων ἀγαθῶν ἀγγέλων στρατόν, πνεῦμά τε τὸ προφητικὸν σεβόμεθα καὶ προσκυνοῦμεν, λόγῳ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ τιμῶντες, καὶ παντὶ βουλομένῳ μαθεῖν, ὡς ἐδιδάχθημεν, ἀφθόνως παραδιδόντες.
