Ὅταν γὰρ ἐξελθὼν ἐντεῦθεν ἔργον ποιήσῃ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τὴν σωτηρίαν καὶ μὴ μόνον ἐγκαλέσῃς μηδὲ ἐπιτιμήσῃς, ἀλλὰ καὶ συμβουλεύσῃς καὶ παρακαλέσῃς καὶ δείξῃς τῆς μὲν ἔξω διατριβῆς τὴν βλάβην, τῆς δὲ ἐντεῦθεν διδασκαλίας τὸ κέρδος καὶ τὴν ὠφέλειαν, εἰς δόξαν Θεοῦ τὸ πᾶν εἰργάσω καὶ διπλοῦν σαυτῷ τὸν μισθὸν κατεσκεύασας, ὑπέρ τε ὧν αὐτὸς τῆς οἰκείας σωτηρίας τοσαύτην ποιῇ τὴν ὠφέλειαν καὶ ὑπὲρ ὧν τὸ μέλος τὸ σὸν ἰατρεῦσαι ἐσπούδασας. Τοῦτο τῆς ἐκκλησίας τὸ καύχημα, τοῦτο τοῦ σωτῆρος τὸ παράγγελμα, τὸ μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν μόνον σκοπεῖν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ τοῦ πλησίον.
