τοῦτο δ’ ἦν τοῖς ἐκ περιτομῆς μέγα ἐφ’ ἑαυτοῖς αὐχοῦσι καὶ σεμνυνομένοις, ὡς τοῦ θεοῦ μόνους αὐτοὺς τῶν λοιπῶν ἐθνῶν προτιμήσαντος καὶ μόνους τῶν θείων ἐπαγγε- λιῶν κατηξιωκότος, ἐπιδεῖξαι ὡς οὐδὲν κρεῖττον παρὰ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἅπαντας ἰδίως αὐτοῖς ἐν ταῖς θείαις ἐπήγγελται ὑποσχέσεσιν. ὅτε τοίνυν ἀπεδείχθη τῶν θείων ἐπαγγελιῶν τὰ ἔθνη κατηξιωμένα, φέρε λοιπὸν ἤδη καὶ τὸ δι’ οὗ τὰ ἔθνη τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ κλήσεως καὶ τῶν θείων ἐπαγγελιῶν τεύξεσθαι λέγεται θεασώμεθα· καλὸν γὰρ καὶ τὴν αἰτίαν συνιδεῖν τὴν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἀγαθὰ προξενήσειν λεγομένην.
