Πλὴν ἀλλὰ ταῦτα ὅπη ἄν τις καὶ θέλοι, ταύτῃ τιθέσθω· ἡμῖν δὲ ἐξαρκεῖ τὸ ἀληθὲς ἐκεῖνο καὶ εὐσεβὲς αὖθις ἐπαναλαμβάνειν ῥῆμα, δι’ οὗ καὶ τὴν λύσιν ἐπιθήσομεν τοῖς ἐζητημένοις, πολλάκις ἤδη ἐπειπόντες “τὴν γενεὰν αὐτοῦ τίς διηγήσεται;” ἀνέφικτος γὰρ ὡς ἀληθῶς, καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ταῖς πάσης ἐπέκεινα οὐσίας δυνάμεσιν, ἡ τοῦ μονογενοῦς τοῦ θεοῦ τυγχάνει γένεσις, ὥσπερ οὖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ σωτὴρ καὶ κύριος ἡμῶν τοὺς οἰκείους μαθητὰς αὐτὰ δὴ ταῦτα μυσταγωγῶν ‟οὐδεὶς ἔγνω φησὶ) τὸν πατέρα εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱός.”
