Origen

“ For, in our opinion, the same virtue belongs to all the blessed, so that the virtue of man and of God is identical. [10] And therefore we are taught to become “perfect,” as our Father in heaven is perfect. ”

“ And we know that in this way the angels are superior to men; so that men, when made perfect, become like the angels. “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but the righteous are as the angels in heaven,” [6] and also become “equal to the angels.” ”

“ And he acts like those who would find fault with an entire sect of philosophers, on account of certain words uttered by some rash youth who, after a three days’ attendance upon the lectures of a philosopher, should exalt himself above other people as inferior to himself, and devoid of philosophy. ”
