«Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.» Καὶ ἐντεῦθεν πολλὴν τῶν ἀγώνων καὶ τῶν βραβείων τὴν δαψίλειαν ἐποιήσατο. Οὐ γὰρ δι' ἀνθρώπων ἠλαύνετο, ἀλλ' αὐτὸς ὁ ἀρχέκακος δαίμων ἐπιθέμενος καὶ πάντα αὐτοῦ τὰ μηχανήματα κινήσας, οὕτως ἦλθεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν, ἀπελάσας αὐτὸν καὶ οἰκίας καὶ πατρίδος καὶ εἰς τὴν κοπρίαν ἐξαγαγών, χρημάτων ἐκβαλὼν πάντων, κτημάτων, παίδων, αὐτῆς τοῦ σώματος τῆς ὑγιείας καὶ λιμῷ παραδοὺς χαλεπωτάτῳ· μετὰ δὲ ἐκείνου καὶ τῶν φίλων τινές, οὐχ ὡς ἔτυχεν, ἥλλοντο καὶ ἀνέξαινον αὐτοῦ τῆς ψυχῆς τὰ ἕλκη.
