δεσμός τις οὗτος ἀρραγὴς θεοῦ λόγος μέσος τυγχάνει συνδέων τὰ διεστῶτα καὶ μὴ μακρὰν ἀποπίπτειν αὐτὰ συγχωρῶν. οὗτος ἡ καθόλου πρόνοια, κηδεμὼν οὑτος καὶ διορθωτὴς τοῦ παντός, οὑτος θεοῦ δύναμις καὶ θεοῦ σοφία, οὑτος μονογενὴς θεός, ἐκ θεοῦ γεγεννημένος λόγος· ἐν ἀρχῇ γὰρ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος· πάντα δἰ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐrένετο οὐδὲ ἓν ὅ γέονε" θεολόγων ἀνδρῶν ἱεραὶ διδάσκουσι φωναί· οὗτος ὁ κοινὸς ἁπάντων φυτουργός, δι' ὃν ἡ τῶν ὅλων οὐσία φύει καὶ θάλλει, ὀμβρήμασι τοῖς ἐξ αὐτοῦ διὰ παντὸς ἀρδομένη, νεαράν τε εἰς ἀεὶ τὴν ἀκμὴν καὶ τὴν ὥραν περικαλλῆ τοῦ παντὸς παρεχομένη.
