Διὸ καὶ ὁ Παῦλος αὐτὸν ἀνακηρύττει μετὰ λαμπρᾶς τῆς φωνῆς οὕτω λέγων· «Ὃς παρ' ἐλπίδα ἐπ' ἐλπίδι ἐπίστευσεν εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι αὐτὸν πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν.» Τί ἐστι· «Παρ' ἐλπίδα ἐπ' ἐλπίδι»; Παρ' ἐλπίδα τὴν ἀνθρωπίνην, ἐπ' ἐλπίδι τῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῇ πάντα νικώσῃ, τῇ πάντα δυναμένῃ, τῇ πάντων περιγινομένῃ. Καὶ ἐπίστευσεν οὐκ εἰς τὸ πατὴρ γενέσθαι μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐθνῶν τοσούτων, ὁ γέρων καὶ ἄγονος, ὁ στεῖραν καὶ γεγηρακυῖαν γυναῖκα ἔχων, κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον·
