Origin of quote: "If you wish to speak or hear about God, renounce your own body..."
score:1
Accepted answer
It appears that this quote is from a Homily by St. Basil titled On Faith, specifically Fide 1, which can be found in the larger work On Christian Doctrine and Practice.
De fide, Mark DelCogliano writes, “is one of the classic expressions of [Basil’s] Trinitarian doctrine” (On Christian Doctrine and Practice, p. 227).
