διὸ καὶ φῶς ἦν ἀληθῶς καθ’ ὃ τὸ νοερὸν καὶ λογικὸν ταῖς κατ’ εἰκόνα τὴν αὐτοῦ πεποιημέναις ψυχαῖς ἐναυγάζει φέγγος. διὸ οὐ πάντων αὐτὸν φῶς εἶναί φησιν, ἀλλὰ μόνων ἀνθρώπων· »ἦν« γὰρ τὸ φῶς »τὸ φωτίζον πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον« ἔφη. οὕτω δὲ καὶ ζωὴ ὑπῆρχεν ἀληθῶς, καθ’ ὃ πᾶσιν τοῖς ζῶσιν τὸ τῆς ἐξ αὐτοῦ χορηγίας παρέχει νᾶμα. καὶ καθ’ ἑκάστην δὲ ἐπίνοιαν τῶν ἐν αὐτῷ θεϊκῶν δυνάμεων παραστατικὰς εὕροις ἂν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀληθεῖς ἐπωνυμίας. κατὰ πάντα γὰρ ἀλήθεια ἦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὃ δὴ παρίστησιν αὐτὸς λέγων »ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀλήθεια«.
