Ἀλλ' ὅμως εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷδε τῷ βίῳ τὰ χρηστὰ αὐτοῖς ἐξέβαινε καὶ ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ζωῇ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ μάλιστα θαυμαστοὶ ἂν εἶεν οἱ τούτων μὴ ἀπολελαυκότες, ὅτι μήτε τὸν περὶ ἀναστάσεως σαφῶς εἰδότες λόγον καὶ τὰ ἐναντία τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ συμβαίνοντα ὁρῶντες ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων, οὐκ ἐσκανδαλίζοντο, οὐκ ἐθορυβοῦντο, οὐδὲ ἐταράττοντο, ἀλλὰ παρεχώρουν αὐτοῦ τῇ ἀκαταλήπτῳ προνοίᾳ, οὐδὲν ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίως γινομένων σκανδαλιζόμενοι, ἀλλ' εἰδότες αὐτοῦ τὸ εὔπορον καὶ εὐμήχανον τῆς σοφίας, τὸ τέλος ἀνέμενον, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ πρὸ τοῦ τέλους πᾶν ὅπερ εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐτολμᾶτο, ἔφερον εὐχαρίστως καὶ τὸν συγχωροῦντα ταῦτα γίνεσθαι Θεὸν δοξάζοντες διετέλουν. Τάχα ἀσαφὴς ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὑμῖν εἶναι δοκεῖ· οὐκοῦν σαφέστερον αὐτὸν ποιῆσαι πειράσομαι.
