Ἐπεὶ ἐὰν βιωτικαῖς μερίμναις ἀσχοληθῇς, καὶ σεαυτὸν καὶ τοὺς ἀκροατὰς ἐνεδρεύσεις· τὰ γὰρ συμφέροντα ἐφοδιάζειν διὰ τὴν ἀσχολίαν οὐ δυνηθεῖς, καὶ σὺ ὡς μὴ διδάξας τὸ συμφέρον κολασθήσῃ, οἱ δὲ μὴ μαθόντες ἀγνοίας αἰτίᾳ ἀπολοῦνται. διὸ σὺ μὲν αὐτοῖς εὐσχολῶν προκαθέσθητι πρὸς τὸ εὐκαίρως παρέχειν τοὺς σώζειν αὐτοὺς δυναμένους λόγους· καὶ οὗτοι ἐπακουέτωσάν σοι, εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ τῆς ἀληθείας πρεσβευτὴς ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃ ἐπὶ γῆς, δέδεται καὶ ἐν οὐρανῷ, ὃ δ’ ἂν λύσῃ, λέλυται. σὺ δὲ δήσεις ἃ δεῖ δεθῆναι, καὶ λύσεις ἃ δεῖ λυθῆναι. καὶ τὰ μὲν κατὰ σὲ τὸν παρεστῶτα καὶ ταῦτά ἐστιν καὶ τὰ τούτοις ὅμοια.
