Καὶ ἵνα ἓν ὃ καὶ πάνυ θαυμαστόν ἐστι γνώρισμα τῆς θειότητος τοῦ Σωτῆρος εἴπω· τίς πώποτε ἄνθρωπος ἀπλῶς ἢ μάγος, ἢ τύραννος, ἢ βασιλεύς, ἐφ’ ἑαυτοῦ τοσοῦτον ἠδυνήθη βαλεῖν καὶ καθ’ ὅλης τῆς εἰδωλολατρίας καὶ πάσης δαιμονικῆς στρατίας, καὶ πάσης μαγείας, καὶ πάσης σοφίας Ἕλλήνων, τοσοῦτον ἰσχυόντων καὶ ἔτι ἀκμαζόντων καὶ ἐκπληττόντων πάντας, ἀντιμάχεσθαι καὶ μιᾷ ῥοπῇ κατὰ πάντων ἀντιστῆναι, ὡς ὁ ἡμέτερος Κύριος, ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀληθὴς Λόγος, ὃς ἀοράτως ἑκάστου τὴν πλάνην ἐλέγχων, μόνος παρὰ πάντων τοὺς πάντας ἀνθρώπους σκυλεύει, ὥστε τοὺς μὲν τὰ εἴδωλα προσκυνοῦντας λοιπὸν αὐτὰ καταπατεῖν· τοὺς δὲ μαγείαις θαυμασθέντας τὰς βίβλους κατακαίειν· τοὺς δὲ σοφοὺς τὴν τῶν Εὐαγγελίων προκρίνειν πάντων ἑρμηνείαν.
