ὧν οὕτως ἐχόντων οἱ μὲν προφῆται ἐν προφητείᾳ τέλειοι, οἱ δίκαιοι δὲ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ οἱ μάρτυρες ἐν ὁμολογίᾳ, ἄλλοι δὲ ἐν κηρύγματι, οὐκ ἀμέτοχοι μὲν τῶν κοινῶν ἀρετῶν, κατορθοῦντες δὲ ἐν οἷς ἐτάχθησαν· ἐπεὶ τίς ἂν εὖ φρονῶν εἴποι τὸν προφήτην οὐ δίκαιον; τί γάρ; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι ὥσπερ Ἀβραὰμ προεφήτευσαν; ἄλλῳ μὲν γὰρ ἔδωκε θεὸς πολεμήια ἔργα, ἄλλῳ δ’ ὀρχηστύν, ἑτέρῳ κίθαριν καὶ ἀοιδήν, Ὅμηρος λέγει. ἀλλ’ ἕκαστος ἴδιον ἔχει χάρισμα ἀπὸ θεοῦ, ὃ μὲν οὕτως, ὃ δὲ οὕτως, οἱ ἀπόστολοι δὲ ἐν πᾶσι πεπληρωμένοι.
