καταισχυνθήσονται δὲ αὖθις οὗτοι καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἄλλων αὐτῶν λόγων. εἰ γὰρ Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἀπὸ παρθένου Μαρίας, ἀλλὰ ἐκ σπέρματος Ἰωσὴφ καὶ τῆς αὐτῆς Μαρίας, σῴζεται δὲ οὑτος, ἄρα καὶ αὐτοὶ σωθήσονται οἱ τοῦτον γεγεννηκότες. καὶ εἰ ἡ Μαρία καὶ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ ὑπάρχουσιν, ἄρα τὸν δημιουργὸν κτιστὴν <καὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ> καὶ οὐκέτι ἐν ὑστερήματι ἔσται ὁ τὸν Ἰωσὴφ καὶ τὴν Μαρίαν ποιήσας, Ι ἐξ ὧω ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρὰ τοῦ ἄνω ἀγνώστου πατρὸς ὑπάρχει. εἰ δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων ἐστὶ καὶ ὁ δημιουργὸς εἷς ἐστι τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἄρα γε ἀτοπήματι τῷ ἐνὶ πάντες περιπεσοῦνται, ὁποίῳ καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι περιπεπτώκασι, καὶ ἀσύστατον εἴη ἂν τὸ παρ αὐτῶν δραματούργημα, δηλητηρίου ἔμπλεον καὶ πάσης ἰώδους διδασκαλίας μεμεστωμένον.
