V. Ὅν τινες ἀγνοοῦντες ἠρνήσαντο καὶ συνηγοροῦσι τῷ ψεύδει μᾶλλον ἢ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ· οὓς οὐκ ἔπεισαν αἱ προφητεῖαι οὐδ’ ὁ νόμος ὁ Μωσέως, ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ μέχρι νῦν τὸ εὐαγγέλιον, ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ τὰ ἡμέτερα τῶν κατ’ ἄνδρα παθήματα. 2. καὶ γὰρ περὶ ἡμῶν τὸ αὐτὸ φρονοῦσι. τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖ, εἰ ἐμὲ ἐπαινεῖ τις, τὸν δὲ κύριόν μου βλασφημεῖ, μὴ ὁμολογῶν αὐτὸν σαρκοφόρον θεόν; ὁ δὲ τοῦτο μὴ λέγων τελείως αὐτὸν ἀπήρνηται, ὢν νεκροφόρος. 3. τὰ δὲ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, ὄντα ἄπιστα, νῦν οὐκ ἔδοξέ μοι ἐγγράψαι· μηδὲ γένοιτό μοι αὐτῶν μνημονεύειν, μέχρις οὗ μετανοήσωσιν.
