διαβιοῦσι δὲ γυμνοί, τὸ σῶμα ἔνδυμα τῇ ψυχῇ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ γεγονέναι λέγοντες. οὑτοι τὸν θεὸν φῶς εἶναι λέγουσιν οὐχ ὁποῖόν τις ὁρᾷ οὐδ᾿ οἷον ἥλιος καὶ πῦρ, ἀλλ’ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς λόγος, οὐχ ὁ ἔναρθρος, ἀλλ᾿ ὁ τῆς γνώσεως, δι᾿ οὗ τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς φύσεως μυστήρια ὁρᾶται σοφοῖς. τοῦτο δὲ τὸ φῶς. ὅ φασι λόγον [τὸν θεόν], αὑτοὺς μόνους εἰδέναι λέγουσιν διὰ τὸ ἀπορρῖψαι μόνους τὴν κενοδοξίαν, ὅς ἐστι χιτὼν τῆς ψυχῆς ἔσχατος.
