Καὶ ὁρῶν αὐτοὺς τοὺς τῆς ζωῆς κήρυκας τὰ μυρία πάσχοντας κακά, μαστιζομένους, ὑβριζομένους, καταποντιζομένους, κατατεινομένους λιμῷ καὶ δίψει, καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἀγχομένους, θανάτοις συζῶντας καθημερινοῖς, ἠνείχετο διὰ σὲ καὶ τὴν κηδεμονίαν τὴν σήν. Διὰ σέ, ἄνθρωπε, καὶ βασιλείαν ἡτοίμασε, διὰ σὲ τὰ ἀγαθὰ τὰ ἀπόρρητα, τὴν λῆξιν ἐκείνην τὴν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, τὰς μονὰς τὰς διαφόρους καὶ ποικίλας, τὴν μακαριότητα, τὴν οὐδέποτε λόγῳ ἑρμηνευθῆναι δυναμένην.
