διὸ ἐπανέστη ὁ εἷς τῷ ἑνί, διὰ ζῆλον ὃν εἶχον πρὸς ἀλλήλους, οὐχὶ διὰ τό πως εὐηρεστηκέναι τὸν Ἄβελ θεῷ, ὡς ἔχει ἡ ἀλήθεια, ἀλλὰ ἕτερον πλαζόμενοι λόγον λέγουσιν· ἐπειδή, φησίν, ἐρῶντες ἦσαν ἀμφότεροι τῆς ἀδελφῆς τῆς ἰδίας αὐτῶν, τούτου χάριν ἐπανέστη ὁ Κάϊν τῷ Ἄβελ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν. φύσει γὰρ αὐτούς φασιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τοῦ διαβόλου ὡς προεῖπον γεγενῆσθαι.
