Εἰ γὰρ καὶ ἥλιος ὁ ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ γενόμενος καὶ ὑφ’ ἡμῶν ὁρώμενος, περιπολῶν ἐν οὐρανῷ, οὐ ῥυπαίνεται τῶν ἐπὶ γῆς σωμάτων ἁπτόμενος, οὐδὲ ὑπὸ σκότους ἀφανίζεται, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον αὐτὸς καὶ ταῦτα φωτίζει καὶ καθαρίζει· πολλῷ πλέον ὁ πανάγιος τοῦ Θεοῦ Λόγος, ὁ καὶ τοῦ ἡλίου ποιητὴς καὶ Κύριος, ἐν σώματι γνωριζόμνος οὐκ ἐῤῥυπαίνετο· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ἄφθαρτος ὥν, καὶ τὸ σῶμα θνητὸν τυγχάνρν ἐζωοποίει καὶ ἐκαθάριζεν. Ὅς ἁμαρτίαν γάρ φησιν οὐκ ἐποίησεν, οὐδὲ εὑρέθη δόλος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ.
