(9) Καὶ τίνα γε οὐκ ἂν κινήσαι πρὸς τὸ πιστεῦσαι τῷ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ κηρύγματι καὶ ἀληθῶς, ὡσπερεὶ ἐκ νεκρότητος καὶ δυσωδίας, τῶν πάνυ ὑπὸ τῆς κακίας καταβεβαπτισμένων, ἀκροτάτῃ μεταβολῇ ἀποσεισαμένων τῇ προστάξει καὶ συνεργείᾳ τοῦ λόγου οὐ μόνον τὴν ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας πολλὴν δυσωδίαν ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς κατέχοντας δεσμοὺς τὴν πορευτικὴν καὶ τὴν δραστικὴν τῆς ψυχῆς δύναμιν, ἔτι δὲ χωρὶς τούτων καὶ τὴν θεωρητικήν;
