Ὅταν οὖν ἴδῃς τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν σκορπισθεῖσαν, τὰ ἔσχατα παθοῦσαν, ἐλαυνομένους, μαστιζομένους τοὺς ἐν αὐτῇ λάμποντας, τὸν πρόεδρον αὐτῆς πορρωτάτω ἀπενεχθέντα, μὴ ταῦτα σκόπει μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἐκ τούτων ἐκβησόμενα, τοὺς μισθοὺς, τὰς ἀμοιβάς, τὰ βραβεῖα, τὰ ἔπαθλα· «Ὁ γὰρ ὑπομείνας εἰς τέλος, οὗτος σωθήσεται», φησίν. Ἐπὶ μὲν γὰρ τῆς Παλαιᾶς, ἐπειδὴ οὐδέπω γνώριμος ὁ τῆς ἀναστάσεως λόγος ἦν, ἐν τῷ παρόντι βίῳ ἀμφότερα ἐγίνετο· ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς Καινῆς οὐ πανταχοῦ τοῦτο, ἀλλ' ἔστιν ὅπου τὰ μὲν λυπηρὰ ἐνταῦθα, τὰ δὲ χρηστὰ ἀναμένει τὴν ἐντεῦθεν ἡμῶν ἀποδημίαν.
