καὶ ὁ οὐχ ἑκὼν ποιῶν τὰ σώματος, ὃ ποιεῖ, ποιεῖ διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα, ὡς ὡς λέγοιμεν Παῦλον θέλειν »ἐπιμένειν τῇ σαρκὶ‘ οὐχ ἑκόντα ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα· προτιμῶντα γὰρ καθ’ αὑτὸ »τὸ ἀναλῦσαι καὶ σὺν Χριστῷ εἶναι« οὐκ ἄλογον ἡν βούλεσθαι »ἐπιμένειν τῇ σαρκὶ« διὰ τὴν ἑτέρων ὠφέλειαν καὶ προκοπὴν τὴν ἐν τοῖς ἐλπιζομένοις οὐ μόνον αὐτοῦ ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ὠφελουμένων ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ.
