Ἃ γοῦν Μωσῆς ἐδίδασκε, ταῦθ’ Ἁβραὰμ ἐφύλαττεν· ἃ δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἐφύλαττε, ταῦτα Νῶε καὶ Ἐνὼχ ἐγίνωσκον διακρίναντες καθαρὰ καὶ ἀκάθαρτα καὶ εὐάρεστοι γινόμενοι τῷ θεῷ. καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ἄβελ οὕτως ἐμαρτύρησεν ἐπιστάμενος ταῦτα, ἅπερ ἦν μαθὼν παρὰ τοῦ Ἀδὰμ τοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μαθόντος παρὰ κυρίου, ὃς καὶ ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ τῶν αἰώνων ἐλθὼν εἰς ἀθέτησιν τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἔλεγεν· οὐκ ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν, ἀλλ’ ἐντολὴν παλαιάν, ἣν ἠκούσατε ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς.
