περὶ δὲ τῆς αὐτοῦ, αὐτοῦ, τουτέστι τῆς ἀναγεννήσεως, ἵνα γένηται πνευματικός. οὐ σαρκικός, λέγει, φησίν, ἡ γραφή· »ἄρατε πύλας οἱ. ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπάρθητε πύλαι αἰώνιοι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δοξης«. τοῦτ’ ἐστὶ θαῦμα θαυμάτων. »τίς« γάρ, φησίν, »ἐστὶν οὗτος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης;« »σκώληξ καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος, ἄνειδος ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἐξουθένημα λαοῦ«. »αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης, ὁ ἐν πολέμῳ δυνατός«.
