ὅσον ποιοῦμεν ἁμαρτίας, οὐδέπω τὴν ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου γένεσιν ἀπεδυσάμεθα, κἂν πιστεύειν εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν νομιζώμεθα· καὶ τούτῳ ἀκόλουθόν ἐστιν τὸ λέγεσθαι τοῖς πεπιστευκόσιν Ἰουδαίοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ· »’Υμεῖς »ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν« ἀναφερομένου »τοῦ πατρὸς« ἐπὶ τὸν διάβολον διὰ τὸ »Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστέ«. εἰ δὲ πᾶς »ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστίν«, πᾶς ὁ μὴ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου οὐ ποιεῖ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν. ἀλλὰ καὶ εἴπερ »εἰς »τοῦτο ἐφανερώθη ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα λύσῃ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ »διαβόλου«, ὅσον οὐδέπω τὰ ἐν ἡμῖν ἔλυσεν ἔργα τοῦ διαβόλου, τῷ μὴ παρεστακέναι ἡμᾶς ἑαυτοὺς τῷ λύοντι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ διαβόλου, οὐδέπω ἀπεθέμεθα τὸ εἶναι τέκνα τοῦ διαβόλου, ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι τίνος ἐσμὲν υἱοί.
