ON "AN IDOL IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD"

For the honor paid to the God who truly is, is in every way also an honor to the one who honors, but the honor paid to the god who is not is, on the contrary, a dishonor to the one who honors.

EIS TO OUDEN EIDWLON EN KOSMW

ἡ μὲν εἰς θεὸν τὸν ὄντως ὄντα τιμὴ πάντως που καὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ τιμῶντός ἐστι τιμὴ, ἡ δὲ εἰς τὸν οὐκ ὄντα θεὸν τιμὴ ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ τοῦ τιμῶντός ἐστιν ἀτιμία.
