Ταύτης ἕνεκεν τῆς αἰτίας καὶ τὸν Ἰὼβ ἀφῆκε παθεῖν ἅπερ ἔπαθεν, ὥστε καὶ δοκιμώτερον φανῆναι καὶ ἐμφράξαι τοῦ διαβόλου τὸ στόμα· διὰ τοῦτο καὶ τοὺς ἀποστόλους ἀφῆκεν ὥστε κἀκείνους ἀνδρειοτέρους γενέσθαι καὶ τὴν οἰκείαν δύναμιν ταύτῃ ἐπιδείξασθαι. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ αὕτη αἰτία οὐ μικρά. Διὸ καὶ Παύλῳ ἔλεγε ζητοῦντι ἄνεσιν καὶ ἀπαλλαγὴν τῶν κατεχόντων κακῶν· «Ἀρκεῖ σοι ἡ χάρις μου· ἡ γὰρ δύναμίς μου ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ τελειοῦται.»
