Οὗτος οὖν ὁ πυροειδὴς θεός, ὁ πῦρ ἀπὸ φωτὸς γενόμενος, πεποίηκε τὸν κόσμον οὕτως, ὥς φησι Μωϋσῆς, αὐτὸς ὢν ἀνυπόστατος, σκότος ἔχων τὴν οὐσίαν, ἐνυβρίζων ἀεὶ τοῖς κατειλημμένοις ἄνωθεν κάτω τοῦ φωτὸς αἰωνίοις χαρακτῆρσι. μέχρι μὲν οὖν τῆς τοῦ σωτῆρος φανερώσεως ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πυρώδους, τοῦ δημιουργοῦ, πολλή τις ἦν πλάνη τῶν ψυχῶν — ψυχαὶ γὰρ αἱ ἰδέαι καλοῦνται, ὅτι ἀποψυγεῖσαι τῶν ἄνω έν σκότει διατελοῦσι, μεταβαλλόμεναι ἐκ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα, ὑπὸ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ φρουρούμενα.
