Τῇ μὲν ἐπιούσῃ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ Πέτρος ἅμα τοῖς ἑταίροις ἐξιὼν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν πρὸ μιᾶς τόπον ἐλθὼν καὶ ἐπιστὰς ἤρξατο λέγειν· ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς πάλαι ἀνθρώπους ἀσεβήσαντας πάντας ὕδατι διαφθείρας, ἐκ πάντων ἕνα εὐσεβῆ εὑρών, ἐν λάρνακι μετὰ τριῶν υἱῶν καὶ γυναικῶν σωθῆναι ἐποίησεν. ὅθεν συνιδεῖν ἔστιν αὐτοῦ τὴν φύσιν, ὄχλου μὲν ἀσεβούντων μὴ φροντίζουσαν, ἑνὸς δὲ εὐσεβοῦς σωτηρίας οὐκ ἀμελοῦσαν. πασῶν οὖν μείζων ἐστὶν ἀσέβεια τὸ τὸν μόνον πάντων καταλείψαντα δεσπότην πολλοὺς τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας σέβειν θεούς.
