Οὐ γὰρ τὰ Μώσεως νόμιμα διδάσκειν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη παρεκελεύσατο, ἀλλ’ ὅσα αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο· ταῦτα δ’ ἦν τὰ ἐν τοῖς εὐαγγελίοις αὐτοῦ φερόμενα. εἰκότως οὖν καὶ οἶ αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ καὶ οἶ ἀπόστολοι ἐν τῇ περὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν σκέψει ὁμολογοῦσι μὴ δύνασθαι τὰ Μώσεως νόμιμα τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐφαρμόζειν, ὅτε μήτε αὐτοῖς μήτε τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν εὐκατόρθωτα γέγονεν. λέγει δ’ οὖν ἐν ταῖς Πράξεσιν ὁ Πέτρος “νῦν οὖν τί πειράζετε τὸν θεὸν ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῶν μαθητῶν, ὃν οὔτε οἶ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὔτε ἡμεῖς ἰσχύσαμεν βαστάσαι;”
