Εἰ γὰρ ὁ τοσαύτης ἀπολελαυκὼς γνώσεως καὶ παρρησίαν οὕτως ἄφατον ἔχων καὶ τῶν τοσούτων χαρισμάτων ἐμπεπλησμένος Παῦλος παραχωρεῖ καὶ ἐξίσταται τῆς ὑπὸ τὴν ζήτησιν γνώσεως καὶ οὐ μόνον εὑρεῖν οὐ δύναται, ἀλλ' οὐδὲ ἐρευνῆσαι τὴν ἀρχήν, ἐπεὶ μηδὲ δυνατόν, πῶς οὐ πάντων ἀθλιώτερος καὶ τὴν χαλεπωτάτην μαινόμενος μανίαν, ὁ τὴν ἐναντίαν ὁδὸν ἐρχόμενος ἐκείνῳ;
