Portrait of Origen Origen Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, Origen on John… (1885)

This light, which came into being in the Logos, and is also life, shines in the darkness of our souls, and it has come where the rulers of this darkness carry on their struggle with the race of men and strive to subdue to darkness those who do not stand firm with all their power; that they might be enlightened the light has come so far, and that they might be called sons of light. And shining in darkness this light is pursued by the darkness, but not overtaken.

Christ is Not, Like God, Quite Free from Darkness: Since He Bore Our Sins.
