Ἀλλὰ κἂν ἐχθρὸν ἔχῃ τις καταλλαττέσθω, ἐννοῶν οἵων αὐτὸς μέλλει τυγχάνειν παρὰ τοῦ δεσπότου τοσούτοις ἁμαρτήμασι βεβαπτισμένος καὶ ἀφιέτω τῷ πλησίον τὰ εἰς αὑτὸν ἐπταισμένα. «Κακίαν γάρ, φησίν, ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ μὴ λογιζέσθω ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν.» Κἂν γραμματεῖα τοίνυν τις ἔχῃ καὶ τόκων συναγωγήν, ταῦτα διασπάτω. «Συγγραφὴν γὰρ ἄδικον, φησί, διάσπα.» Καὶ ἁπλῶς εἰπεῖν προλαμβάνων τὰ παρ' ἑαυτοῦ ἐπιδεικνύσθω ἵνα μετὰ πολλῆς τῆς δαψιλείας τὰ παρὰ τοῦ δεσπότου δέξηται.
