Καὶ σοῦ μὲν ἔργον ἐστὶν κελεύειν ἅ δεῖ, τῶν ἀδελφῶν, ὑπείκειν καὶ μὴ ἀπειθεῖν. ὑπείξαντες μὲν οὖν σωθήσονται, ἀπειθήσαντες δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου κολασθήσονται, ὅτι ὁ προκαθεζόμενος Χριστοῦ τόπον πεπίστευται. διὸ ἤτοι τιμὴ ἢ ὕβρις τοῦ προκαθεζομένου εἰς Χριστὸν φέρεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τὸν Θεὸν ἀναφέρεται. τοῦτο δὲ εἴρηκα, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ τῆς πρός σε ἀπειθείας τὸν κίνδυνον αὐτῶν μὴ ἀγνοῶσιν, ὅτι ὅς ἄν σοι κελεύσαντι ἀπειθήσῃ, Χριστῷ ἀπειθεῖ, Χριστῷ δὲ ἀπειθήσας Θεὸν παροργίζει.
