Εἰπὼν δέ· «Ὡς ἀνεξερεύνητα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστοι αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ» καὶ θαυμάσας καὶ ἐκπλαγείς, εἰς δοξολογίαν τὸν λόγον κατέπαυσεν, οὕτως ἐπάγων καὶ λέγων· «Τίς ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο; ἢ τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ; Ὅτι ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα· αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν.» Ὃ δὲ λέγει τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν· Αὐτὸς πηγή, αὐτὸς αἰτία τῶν ἀγαθῶν, οὐδενὸς δεῖται κοινωνοῦ, οὐδενὸς δεῖται συμβούλου· οὐ παρ' ἑτέρου δανειζόμενος γνῶσιν ἢ σύνεσιν, πραγματεύεται καὶ θαυματουργεῖ· ἀλλ' αὐτὸς ἀρχὴ καὶ αἰτία καὶ πηγὴ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν, αὐτὸς δημιουργός, αὐτὸς αὐτὰ οὐκ ὄντα παρήγαγε, καὶ αὐτὸς παραχθέντα διακρατεῖ καὶ διακοσμεῖ καὶ διατηρεῖ ὡς βούλεται.
