οἱ δὲ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ νομοθεσίαν αὐτῷ ἐδείκνουν καὶ μετὰ συνέσεως αὐτῷ ἀπεκάλυπτον τῆς εὐλόγου γνώμης τὰ καθεξῆς, φήσαντες μὴ δύνασθαι ἐκεῖσε ἔθνος καθέζεσθαι, εἰ μή τι ἂν τὸν νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὸν διὰ Μωυσέως δοθέντα ἐπιτελέσειεν· εἶναι εἶναι τὸν θεὸν ὑπερασπιστὴν τῆς γῆς, μὴ βούλεσθαι δὲ παραβάσεις έν αὐτῇ παρὰ Μνῶν ἀλλοφύλων γίνεσθαι εἰδωλολατρείας καὶ τῶν ἄλλων.
