σκοπεῖν δὲ τοῦτό σε μὲν ἔξεστιν, ἐκείνους δὲ κατακούειν τοὺς ἀπαιδεύτους. δέδεικται ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ τοῦτ’ ἔστιν ἀληθὲς πιστεύειν, τὸν λόγον ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς εἶναι καὶ μόνον ἴδιον αὐτοῦ καὶ φύσει γέννημα. πόθεν γὰρ ἄλλοθεν νοήσειέ τις τὸν υἱόν, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ σοφία καὶ ὁ λόγος, ἐν ᾧ τὰ πάντα γέγονεν, ἢ ἐξ αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ;
