Τίνι δὲ οὐ φαίνεται, ὅτι κρεῖττόν ἐστιν γυναικὶ ἐν γυναικείοις οὔσῃ μὴ συνελθεῖν, ἀλλὰ καθαρθείσῃ καὶ βαπτισθείσῃ; ἀλλὰ καὶ μετὰ κοινωνίαν βαπτίζεσθαι δεῖ. εἰ δὲ τοῦτο ποιεῖν ὀκνεῖτε, ἀναπολήσατε, πῶς τὰ τῆς ἁγνείας μέρη μετεδιώκετε, ὅτε ἀναισθήτοις εἰδώλοις ἐθρησκεύετε. αἰσχύνθητε ὅτι ἐνταῦθα, ὅπου ἐχρῆν, οὐ τὸ πλεῖον λέγω, ἀλλὰ μόνον καὶ ὅλον τὸ τῆς ἁγνείας ἀναδέξασθαι, ὀκνηρότεροι γίνεσθε. νοήσατε οὖν τὸν ἐκεῖ ὑμᾶς πεποιηκότα, καὶ διανοηθήσεσθε τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἐνταῦθα ὄκνον πρὸς ἁγνείαν ὑμῖν ἐμβάλλων.
