Irenaeus – select quotes

For the glory of God is the human person fully alive, and life consists in beholding God. For if the vision of God which is made by means of the creation, gives life to all living in the earth, much more does that revelation of the Father which comes through the Word, give life to those who see God.
~ in Against Heresies

Speaking always well of the worthy, but never ill of the unworthy, we also shall attain to the glory and kingdom of God.
