Θεοδωρήτου. Ὅπερ γάρ ἐστιν ὀφθαλμὸς ἐν σώματι, τοῦτο τῇ ψυχῇ πίστις καὶ τῶν θείων ἡ γνῶσις. δεῖται δὲ ὅμως αὕτη τῆς πρακτικῆς ἀρετῆς, καθάπερ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς, χειρῶν καὶ ποδῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλλων μορίων τοῦ σώματος. τούτου δὴ χάριν τοῖς δογματικοῖς ὁ θεῖος Ἀπόστολος λόγοις, καὶ τὴν ἠθικὴν διδασκαλίαν προστέθεικε. τὴν τελεωτάτην κατασκευάζων ἐν ἡμῖν ἀρετήν. διὰ γὰρ δὴ Ῥωμαίων, πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις τὴν ὠφέλειαν προσήνεγκε. καὶ νόμους τιθεὶς, κρύπτει τὴν ἐξουσίαν, καὶ μεθ’ ἱκετηρίας τὴν διδασκαλίαν προφέρει. καὶ τῆς θείας φιλανθρωπίας ἀναμιμνήσκει, περὶ ἧς ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν μακροὺς ἀπέτεινε λόγους.
