Τοῖς εὐμαθέσιν ἀνθρώποις καὶ καλῶς διακειμένοις πρὸς παραδοχὴν θείων λόγων ἐνοικισθήσεται τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον αὐξάνον ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ χαρίσματα, τοῖς δὲ σπινθῆρα φωτὸς κεκτημένοις καὶ τούτου ἀμελήσασι σβεσθήσεται πάντως καὶ ἀρθήσεται ἀπ' αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ σμικρότατον, ὃ πρότερον εἶχον. τοῦτο δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι πεπόνθασι λαβόντες φῶς ἐκ τοῦ νόμου καὶ μὴ πολυπλασιάσαντες, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας ἐλθούσης ἀμβλυωπήσαντες πρὸς αὐτὴν ἀφῃρέθησαν, ὃ ἐκέκτηντο.
