ἐκείνων γράψαι τὴν τοιαύτην ἐπιστολὴν καὶ τὰ ἀνθρώπινα τοῦ σωτῆρος ἐκ τῶν εὐαγγελίων παραθέσθαι, ἵν’ ἐπειδὴ τολμηρότερον ἐκεῖνοι τὸν υἱὸν ἠρνοῦντο καὶ τὰ ἀνθρώπινα αὐτοῦ τῷ πατρὶ ἀνετίθεσαν, οὕτως οὗτος δείξας, ὅτι οὐχ ὁ πατὴρ ἀλλ’ ὁ υἱός ἐστιν ὁ γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος, πείσῃ τοὺς ἀμαθεῖς μὴ εἶναι τὸν πατέρα υἱόν, καὶ οὕτως λοιπὸν κατ’ ὀλίγον ἐκείνους εἰς τὴν ἀληθινὴν ἀναγάγῃ θεότητα τοῦ υἱοῦ καὶ τὴν γνῶσιν τὴν περὶ τοῦ πατρός.
