»ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ, οὐ ζωογονεῖται« σφραγῖδας ἐν ἠμῖν ὁ θεὸς ἐποίησε διὰ τῶν ὀνύχων δέκα καὶ δέκα ἀναστάσεως, μαρτυρούσας περὶ τῆς ἡμῶν ἐλπίδος. ἀλλὰ καὶ ὡς διὰ στεφάνου ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς διὰ τῆς τριχὸς τὴν ἡμῶν ἀνάστασιν ἐκήρυξε. τὸ γὰρ δοκοῦν ἐν ἡμῖν νεκρὸν σῶμα, τουτέστι τρίχες καὶ ὄνυχες, καθ’ ἑκάστην τεμνόμεναι καὶ τεμνόμενοι αὐθις θάλλουσι, σημαίνουσαι τῆς ἀναστάσεως τὴν ἐλπίδα.
