καὶ αὖθις ἐπιλέγει ἵνα, ὡς ἔφην, ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου ἀπατηθέντα πρότερον τὸν ἄνθρωπον αὐτὸν αὖθις νικῆσαι τὸν διάβολον παρασκευάσῃ. διὰ τοῦτο ἀνείληφεν τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἵνα ἀκολούθως τοῦτον ἀπαρχὴν τῆς ἐξουσίας παραλαβεῖν παρασκευάσῃ. καὶ προστίθησιν ἔτι λέγων οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀγαπητός, ὁ τῷ λόγῳ ἑνωθεὶς ἄνθρωπος, περὶ οὗ ὁ εὐαγγελιστὴς ἔφη οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.
