Κἀγώ· Ἐπίσταμαι, ἔφην, ὅτι περιετέτμητο Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτόν· διὰ τί δὲ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἡ περιτομή, ἐν πολλοῖς τοῖς προλελεγμένοις εἶπον, καὶ εἰ μὴ δυσωπεῖ ὑμᾶς τὰ λεγόμενα, πάλιν ἐξετάσωμεν τὸν λόγον. Ὅτι δὲ μέχρι Μωσέως οὐδεὶς ἁπλῶς δίκαιος οὐδὲν ὅλως τούτων περὶ ὧν ἐζητοῦμεν ἐφύλαξεν οὐδὲ ἐντολὴν ἔλαβε φυλάσσειν, πλὴν τὴν ἀρχὴν λαβούσης ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ τῆς περιτομῆς, ἐπίστασθε. Κἀκεῖνος· Ἐπιστάμεθα, ἔφη, καὶ ὅτι σώζονται ὁμολογοῦμεν.
