Hello.
Here is a sentence from Homily 39 on Luke by Origen.
'Exigit et postulat a nobis Deus, ut habeat occasionem donandi, ut ipsi tribuat qui erogavit.'
Here is an attempt to translate it:
'God asks and requires from us so that He can have an occasion to give us back something that He took from us.'
The context is the following: Origen is talking about salvation and makes a reference to the Parable of the Minas.
Could you please comment on the meaning of the original sentence?
Thank you.
