Διὸ καὶ Παῦλος ἤκουσε ταῦτα, ὅτι· «Ἡ δύναμίς μου ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ τελειοῦται.» Τοῦτο καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς Παλαιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς Καινῆς ἔστιν εὑρεῖν. Ἐννόησον γὰρ τί πάσχειν εἰκὸς ἦν τὸν Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὑπὸ τριῶν παίδων, δούλων, αἰχμαλώτων, δεδεμένων, πυρπολουμένων, τοσούτου στρατοπέδου παρόντος ἡττώμενον καὶ μὴ δυνάμενον τριῶν περιγενέσθαι σωμάτων δεδουλωμένων, ὑποκειμένων, πατρίδος ἐκπεπτωκότων, ἐλευθερίας, τιμῆς, δυναστείας, χρημάτων, πόρρω τῶν οἰκείων ἀπῳκισμένων. Εἰ δὴ μὴ συνεχωρήθη ὁ ἐμπρησμὸς ἐκεῖνος, οὐκ ἂν οὕτω λαμπρὸν τὸ βραβεῖον ἐγένετο, οὐκ ἂν οὕτω φαιδρὸς ὁ στέφανος.
