ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ ποιῶν καὶ δημιουργῶν ὁμοίως τοῖς παρ’ ἡμῖν τεχνίταις προϋποκειμένην ὕλην λαβὼν χερσὶν καὶ δακτύλοις τεκταίνεται, ἀρρήτῳ δὲ πάλιν καὶ ἀκαταλήπτῳ δυνάμει ἐξ οὐκ ὄντων εἰς τὸ εἶναι τὴν τῶν γενητῶν ἁπάντων ὑπεστήσατο οὐσίαν. εἰ δὴ οὖν πάντα λόγοις ἡμῖν ἀρρήτοις καὶ ἀσυλλογίστοις ἐποίει. τί δὴ χρὴ ἀγωνιᾶν, μὴ ὁμοίως τοῖς θνητοῖς ζῴοις πάθος τι περὶ αὐτὸν εἴποιμεν γεγονέναι | ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ γεννήσει, ἣν ὑπὲρ πάντα καὶ πρὸ πάντων ὑπέστη, οὐ κατά τι τῶν τῇ θνητῶν φύσει συνεγνωσμένων, κατὰ δὲ τὸν αὐτῷ μόνῳ γνωριζόμενον τρόπον;
