παραθετέον δὴ εἰς τὴν περὶ τοῦ λόγου ἐξέτασιν καὶ τὸ »Τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ »οὐρανοὶ ἐστεώθησαν, καὶ τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις »αὐτῶν«· ἅπερ τινὲς ἡγοῦνται ἐπὶ τοῦ σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου τάσσεσθαι πνεύματος, δυνάμενα δηλοῦν τὸ λόγῳ θεοῦ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς ἐστερεῶσθαι, ὡς εἰ λέγοιμεν λόγῳ ἀρχιτεκτονικῷ τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ λόγῳ ναυπηγικῷ τὴν ναῦν γεγονέναι, οὕτως οὖν λόγῳ θεοῦ τοὺς οὐρανούς, θειοτέρου τυγχάνοντας σώματος καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καλουμένου στερεοῦ, οὐκ ἔχοντος τὸ ἐπιπολὺ ῥευστὸν καὶ εὐδιάλυτον τῶν λοιπῶν καὶ κατωτέρων, ἐστερεῶσθαι καὶ διὰ τὸ διάφορον ἐσχηκέναι ἐξαιρέτως τῷ θείῳ λόγῳ.
