ἀλλὰ καὶ (Nr. 40) κυρίως (φησὶν) καὶ ἀληθῶς ὑπάρχων ‹λόγος. διατί δὲ μὴ κυρίως καὶ ἀληθῶς ὑπάρχων› θεός; οὐ γὰρ δὴ ἕτερος ἦν ὁ λόγον αὐτὸν ἀνειπών, ἕτερος δὲ ὁ θεὸν ἀποκαλέσας· εἷς δὲ καὶ ὁ αὐτὸς εὐαγγελιστὴς ὁμοῦ ‹θεὸν› καὶ λόχον αὐτὸν ἐδίδαξεν εἰπὼν »καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος« , ὁ δ’ αὐτὸς καὶ φῶς αὐτὸν ὠνόμασεν. διατί οὖν μὴ κυρίως καὶ ἀληθῶς υἱὸν μονογενῆ καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα αὐτὸς ὁ δεσπότης καὶ σωτὴρ 〈διὰ〉 τοῦ εὐαγγελιστοῦ περὶ ἑαυτοῦ μεμαρτύρηκεν; ὁ δὲ πάντα παρεὶς μόνον λόγον αὐτὸν κυρίως καὶ ἀληθῶς ὑπάρχειν φησίν· καὶ προστίθησιν ὡς ἄρα μόνον εἴη λόγος, ἐντεῦθέν τε καταπίπτει ἐπὶ τὴν τοῦ ἀνθρωπείου λόγου ὁμοιότητα.|
