εἰ δὲ λέγεις τὸν Δημιουργὸν τὸν ἐν ἐλαττώματι καὶ ὑστερήματι ἢ τὴν Μητέρα ἣν λέγεις Ἀχαμὼθ εἰληφέναι ἄνωθεν δύναμιν τουτέστιν τὸ πνευματικόν, οὐκέτι ἐν ὑστερήματι καὶ ἀγνοίᾳ ἐστὶν ὁ Δημιουργὸς οὔτε ἡ κατὰ σὲ Μήτηρ καλουμένη. πῶς γὰρ ἄν τις ἐν ἀγνοίᾳ εἴη τούτου οὑ ἐπιθυμεῖ; εἰ γὰρ ὅλως τοῦ κρείττονος ὀρέγεται, οἶδεν τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ ἀγαθόν· καὶ ὀ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐπιστάμενος καὶ μὴ στυγῶν τοῦτο ἀλλὰ ὀρεγόμενος, οὐκ έ)στιν ἀλλότριος τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ.
