Σκόπει δέ· «Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ τῷ πνεύματι», φησὶν ὁ Χριστός. Τοῦτο αὐτὸς διὰ τῶν ἔργων κατώρθωσεν λέγων. «Εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐφαύλισα, φησί, κρῖμα θεράποντος ἢ θεραπαίνης, κρινομένων αὐτῶν πρός με. Τί γὰρ ποιήσω, ἐὰν ἐπίσκεψίν μου ποιήσῃ ὁ Κύριος; Πότερον οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ ἐγενόμην ἐν γαστρὶ καὶ ἐκεῖνοι ἐγένοντο; Ἐγενόμεθα δὲ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ κοιλίᾳ.» «Μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσι τὴν γῆν.» Καὶ τίς πραότερος ἐκείνου γέγονε, περὶ οὗ καὶ οἱ οἰκέται ἔλεγον· «Τίς ἂν δῴη ἡμῖν τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ ἐμπλησθῆναι;» Οὕτως ἦσαν αὐτοῦ σφοδροὶ ἔρασται.
