Χρυσοστόμου. Τὰ καίρια τῶν παθῶν σβέννυσι τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν καὶ τὸν θυμόν. διόπερ οὐκ αὐτὰ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς πηγὰς αὐτῶν ἀναιρεῖ. οὐδὲν γὰρ οὕτως καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν ἀνάπτει, καὶ ὀργὴν ἐγμαίει, ὡς μέθη καὶ παροινία. διὰ τοῦτο πρότερον εἰπών· “ μὴ “ κώμοις καὶ μέθαις,” τότε ἐπήγαγε, “ μὴ κοίταις καὶ ἀσελγείαις· “ μὴ ἔριδι καὶ ζήλῳ.” καὶ οὐδὲ ἐνταῦθα ἔστη· ἀλλὰ ἀποδύσας ἡμᾶς τῶν πονηρῶν ἱματίων, ἄκουσον πῶς καλλωπίζει λοιπὸν, λέγων, “ ἀλλ’ ἐνδύσασθε τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν. οὐκέτι εἰπεν ἔργα, ἀλλὰ μειζόνως αὐτοὺς ἀνέστησεν. ὅτε μὲν γὰρ περὶ τῆς κακίας ἔφησεν, “ ἔργα” ἔλεγεν. ὅτι δὲ περὶ τῆς ἀρετῆς, οὐκέτι ἔργα ἀλλ’ “ ὅπλα.” δεικνὺς ὅτι ἐν πάσῃ ἀσφαλείᾳ καθίστησιν ἡ ἀρετὴ τὸν ἔχοντα αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ λαμπρότητι. καὶ οὐδὲ ἐνταῦθα ἔστη, ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ τὸ μεῖζον ἄγων τὸν λόγον, ὃ πολλῷ φρικωδέστερον ἦν, αὐτὸν τὸν δεσπότην δίδωσιν ἡμῖν ἱμάτιον. ὁ γὰρ περιβεβλημένος τοῦτον, ἅπασαν ἔχει καθόλου τὴν ἀρετήν. ὅταν δὲ εἴπῃ ἐνδύσασθε, πάντοθεν ἡμᾶς αὐτὸν περιβάλλεσθαι κελεύει, καὶ ὡς ἱμάτιον ἡμῖν αὐτὸν περικείμενον ἔχειν.
