Καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἡσαΐᾳ εἰς τοῦτο αὐτὸ ἔφη οὕτως· Εἶπε κύριος ὁ θεός· Καὶ ἐξελεύσονται καὶ ὄψονται τὰ κῶλα τῶν παραβεβηκότων ἀνθρώπων· ὁ γὰρ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτήσει, καὶ τὸ πῦρ αὐτῶν οὐ σβεσθήσεται, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὅρασιν πάσῃ σαρκί [Is., LXVI, 23-24]. Ὥστε τεμόντας ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν τὴν ἐλπίδα ταύτην σπουδάσαι δεῖ ἐπιγνῶναι, δι᾿ ἧς ὁδοῦ ἄφεσις ὑμῖν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν γενήσεται καὶ ἐλπὶς τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν κατηγγελμένων ἀγαθῶν· ἔστι δ᾿ οὐκ ἄλλη ἢ αὕτη, ἵνα τοῦτον τὸν Χριστὸν ἐπιγνόντες καὶ λουσάμενοι τὸ ὑπὲρ ἀφέσεως ἁμαρτιῶν διὰ Ἡσαίου κηρυχθὲν [Is., i, 16] λουτρὸν ἀναμαρτήτως λοιπὸν ζήσητε.
