Mt 19, 26 Οὐκ ἂν γένοιτό τις παθῶν ἐλευθέραν εἰς ἅπαν ἔχων ψυχὴν καὶ εἰ σφόδρα τις εἴη τῶν ὅτι μάλιστα φιλοπονωτάτων· «τίς γὰρ καθαρὸς ἀπὸ ῥύπου» κατὰ τὸ γεγραμμένον ἢ «τίς καυχήσεται ἁγνὴν ἔχειν τὴν καρδίαν»; εἰ δὲ καὶ ὁ «πταίσας ἐν ἑνί, γέγονε πάντων ἔνοχος» κατὰ τὸν τοῦ καταγνωσθῆναι λόγον, τίς οὐκ ἂν εὐθύνοι τὸ λοιπὸν τὴν ἐφ' ἑνὶ παράβασιν οὐδὲ φυγών; οὐδὲ γὰρ ἂν διαδρῴη τὸ κατὰ νοῦν ἁμαρτεῖν καὶ ὁ σφόδρα νηφάλιος. ὅσον οὖν ἧκεν εἰς ἀνθρωπίνην ἀσθένειαν, οὐδεὶς ὁ σῳζόμενος· ὅσον γε μὴν εἰς τὴν τοῦ διασῴζοντος ἡμερότητα, οὐκ ἀπόγνωστος τὴν σωτηρίαν· οὐ γὰρ πᾶσα ἁμαρτία πρὸς θάνατον.
