Τούτων δὲ οὕτως ὄντων σκοπείτω λοιπὸν ὁ βουλόμενος αὐτῶν καὶ γενέσθω τις αὐτοὺς ἐντρέπων, εἰ τὸ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἴδιον αὐτοῦ γέννημα θέμις εἰπεῖν ἐξ οὐκ ὄντων ἢ λόγον ἔχει κἂν εἰς ἐνθύμησίν τινος ὅλως ἐλθεῖν, ὅτι τὸ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπισυμβέβηκεν αὐτῷ, ἵνα καὶ τολμήσας εἴπῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀεὶ ὁ υἱός. καὶ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ πάλιν τὰς ἀνθρώπων ἐννοίας ὑπερεξῆλθε καὶ ὑπεραναβέβηκεν ἡ τοῦ υἱοῦ γέννησις.
