On this account we are even called atheists. And we do confess that we are atheists with respect to such supposed gods, but not with respect to the most true God, the Father of righteousness and self-control and the other virtues, who is unmixed with evil. But him, and the Son who came from him and taught us these things, and the host of the other good angels who follow and are made like him, and the prophetic Spirit, we worship and adore, honoring them with reason and truth; and to everyone who wishes to learn, as we ourselves were taught, we ungrudgingly hand it on.
