“Whatever all men have uttered aright is the property of us Christians…. For all writers through the implanted seed of the Logos which was engrafted in them, were able to see the truth darkly, for the seed and imitation of a thing which is given according to the capacity of him who receives it is one thing, and quite a different one is the thing itself of which the communication and the imitation are received according to the grace from God. – For whatever either lawgivers or philosophers uttered well, they elaborated by finding and contemplating some part of the Logos.” (Apologia 2, 10; St. Justin Martyr)
