On the Sacrifice of Abel and Cain

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 92

[92] as it is he who demonstrates clearly to others all the [85] [86] clear indications of truth. And accordingly he is in need of no witness; for neither is there any other god of equal honour with him. I omit to mention that he who bears witness, inasmuch as he bears witness, is better than he to whom he bears witness; for the one stands in need of something, and the other serves him: and he who serves is more worthy of credit than he who requires to be served. But it is impious to conceive that any thing can be better than the Cause of all things, since there is nothing equal to him, nothing that is even a little inferior to him; [87] but every thing which exists in the world is found to be in its whole genus inferior to God.
