19.6.36 to 19.6.37

καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν τὴν σοφίαν, ἣν ἔκτισεν ὁ θεὸς πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων εἰς ἔργα αὐτοῦ, ἀναβαίνει ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐγνωκέναι τὴν σοφίαν ἐπὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς· ἀδύνατον δὲ χωρὶς τῆς σοφίας προαγωγῆς νοηθῆναι τὸν τῆς σοφίας θεόν. 〈τὸ〉 δ’ αὐτὸ ἐρεῖς καὶ περὶ τῆς ἀληθείας· οὐ γὰρ νοεῖ τις τὸν θεὸν ἢ θεωρεῖ αὐτόν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα τὴν ἀλήθειαν, ἀλλὰ πρότερον τὴν ἀλήθειαν, ἵν’ οὕτως ἔλθῃ ἐπὶ τὸ ἐνιδεῖν τῇ οὐσίᾳ ἢ τῇ ὑπερέκεινα τῆς οὐσίας δυνάμει καὶ φύσει τοῦ θεοῦ.
