ὁσάκις δὲ ῥημάτων λεγομένων τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἀκούομεν, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν οὐ συνίεμεν αὐτῶν, τοσαυτάκις νομιστέον ἐλέγχεσθαι ὡς οὐκ ὄντας ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ. διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ οὐκ ἀκούει ὁ μὴ ἀκούων ῥημάτων θεοῦ, ἐπείπερ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν παρ’ ἑαυτόν· καίτοι γε ἔσθ’ ὅτε λαβὼν ἤδη ἐξουσίαν τέκνον θεοῦ γενέσθαι, καὶ δυνάμενος ἐκ τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς καὶ προσεύχεσθαι ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων γενέσθαι υἱὸς τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς πατρός.
