Ἐπεὶ οὖν ὁ θεμέλιος τῆς εὐσεβείας ἡ πίστις ἐστί, φέρε μικρὰ περὶ ταύτης ὑμῖν διαλεχθῶμεν ἵνα τὸν θεμέλιον ἀρραγῆ καταβαλόμενοι, οὕτω λοιπὸν μετὰ ἀσφαλείας τὴν πᾶσαν οἰκοδομὴν ποιησώμεθα. Προσήκει τοίνυν τοὺς εἰς τὸ ἴδιον τοῦτο τὸ πνευματικὸν ἀπογραψαμένους πιστεύειν εἰς τὸν τῶν ὅλων Θεὸν τὸν πατέρα τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τὸν πάντων αἴτιον, τὸν ἄφραστον, τὸν ἀπερινόητον, τὸν οὔτε λόγῳ οὔτε διανοίᾳ ἑρμηνευθῆναι δυνάμενον, τὸν φιλανθρωπίᾳ καὶ ἀγαθότητι τὰ πάντα συστησάμενον.
