εἰ γὰρ μέλλοιμι, φησίν, τὰ ἐφ’ ἑκάστης ἡμέρας ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ πραττόμενα διδάσκειν, ἀνάγκη καὶ τῶν ἐξ ἀρχῆς τοῦ παντὸς αἰῶνος ἔργων ἐμαυτοῦ μνημονεῦσαι καὶ παραστῆσαι ὡς ἐπὶ τούτῳ με ὁ γεννήσας πατὴρ ἄρχειν τῶν ὅλων κατέστησεν, ἐφ’ ᾧ τε ἡγεῖσθαι τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ δι’ ἐμοῦ πεποιημένων ἔργων. διὸ ἀκολούθως ἐπάγει τὸ κύριος ἔκτισέν με ἀρχὴν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἔργα αὐτοῦ«, ἢ »κύριος ἐκτήσατό με« κατὰ τὴν ἀποδοθεῖσαν ἑρμηνείαν.
