Καὶ γὰρ καὶ ὁ θεὸς κτίζει, καὶ ἐπ’ ἀνθρώπων δὲ τὸ κτίζειν εἴρηται. καὶ ὁ μὲν θεὸς ὤν ἐστι, λέγονται δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἶναι παρὰ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦτο λαβόντες ἔχειν. ἆρ’ οὖν οὕτως ὁ θεὸς κτίζει ὡς ἄνθρωποι; ἢ οὕτως ὤν ἐστιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος; μὴ γένοιτο. ἄλλως ἐπὶ θεοῦ τὰς λέξεις λαμβάνομεν καὶ ἑτέρως ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ταύτας διανοούμεθα.
