Τί τοίνυν ἀπὸ τῆς τελευτῆς παρεβλάβη ὁ δίκαιος ἐκεῖνος; τί δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ βιαίου θανάτου; τί δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁλύσεως; τί δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου; Τίνας δὲ οὐκ ὤρθωσε τῶν νοῦν ἐχόντων, ἀφ' ὧν εἶπεν, ἀφ' ὧν ἔπαθεν, ἀφ' ὧν ἔτι καὶ νῦν κηρύττει τὰ αὐτὰ ἃ καὶ τότε ζῶν; Μὴ τοίνυν λέγε· «Διὰ τί συνεχωρήθη ἀποθανεῖν;» Οὐ γὰρ θάνατος ἦν, ἀλλὰ στέφανος τὸ γεγενημένον, οὐ τελευτή, ἀλλὰ μείζονος ζωῆς προοίμια. Μάθε φιλοσοφεῖν καὶ οὐ μόνον οὐδὲν ἐκ τῶν τοιούτων βλαβήσῃ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ μέγιστα κερδανεῖς.
