“Remember thou then at all times that God looketh at thee, and do thou thyself also look at Him inwardly, even as He seeth thee inwardly, and sin shall not abide in thy thoughts. For as in the place whereupon the sun looketh darkness abideth not, even so in the soul upon which God looketh, and which itself also feeleth…”
Philoxenus of Mabbug, 6th c. — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 6 -- First Discourse on the Fear of God

— Sirach 17:19 —
