It's a slight rewording of a passage from his commentary on Romans 6,
near the beginning. See:
http://books.google.com/books?id=WjYGAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP9#PPA3,M1 (page 3,
about a quarter of the way down)
for the early 19th c. Lommatzsch edition. Google seems to have pulled
its disheveled digitization of the relevant volume of Migne, but you
should find the passage at 14:1056 if you have access to it [[1]].
Unless I'm just not seeing it in bibliographical records, it's not in
the GCS Origen. See:
http://www.bautz.de/bbkl/o/origenes.shtml
for an extensive bibliography, including a Latin/German edition of
the work and several studies.
Nicolaus de Gorran attributes it to Bernard:
