Καὶ μὴ λεγέτω τις, ὅτι οὐ χρὴ παραμυθίας καὶ νουθεσίας λόγους προσάγειν τοῖς φαῦλόν τι πράττουσι. φημὶ γὰρ, ὡς εἰ μὲν ἀνύει τις, προσφερέτω · εἰ δὲ μὴ, τῷ καιρῷ τέως παραχωρείτω. καιρὸς γὰρ ὡς Σολομῶντι δοκεῖ, παντὶ πράγματι. διὸ χρὴ τοὺς τὴν ψυχὴν ῥωννῦντας λόγους πρὸ τῆς κακώσεως τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἐπάγειν, ἵνα εἴ ποτέ τι φαῦλον ἐπέλθοι, προωπλισμένος ὁ νοῦς ὀρθῷ τῷ λογισμῷ δυνηθείη τὸ ἐπενεχθὲν ὑποστῆναι. κυρίου καὶ θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ διδάσκοντος ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν, παρὰ τούτου μόνου μαθεῖν ἔχεις, ὅτι μόνος οἶδεν ἀλήθειαν. τῶν γὰρ ἄλλων εἴ τις ἐπίσταταί τι, παρὰ τούτου ἢ τῶν τούτου μαθητῶν λαβὼν ἔχει.
