γενόμενος >καὶ αὐτὸς τῷ ἰδίῳ τοῦ θεοῦ λόγῳ καὶ τῇ ἐν τῷ θεῷ σοφίᾳ, έν >καὶ τὰ πάντα καὶ αὐτὸν πεποίηκεν ὁ θεός. διὸ καὶ τρεπτός >καὶ ἀλλοιωτὸς τὴν φύσιν ὡς καὶ πάντα τὰ λογικά. ξένος τε καὶ >ἀλλότριος καὶ ἀπεσχοινισμένος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ >καὶ ἄρρητός ἐστιν ὁ πατὴρ τῷ υἱῷ. οὔτε γὰρ τελείως καὶ >γινώσκει ὁ λόγος τὸν πατέρα οὔτε τελείως ὁρᾶν αὐτὸν >καὶ γὰρ καὶ ἑαυτοῦ τὴν οὐσίαν οὐκ οἶδεν ὁ υἱὸς ὡς ἔστι. δι᾿ >γὰρ πεποίηται, ἵνα ἡμᾶς δι᾿ αὐτοῦ ὡς δι᾿ ὀργάνου κτίσῃ ὁ θεός, >οὐκ ἂν ὑπέστη, εἰ μὴ ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἤθελε ποιῆσαι«.
