ὁ μὲν οὖν τις πραγμάτων αὑτὸν ἀπαλλάττων τῷ ἀπογινώσκειν ἕκαστον δύνασθαι τῶν κατὰ τὸν ναὸν ἀναφέρειν ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα, ὁποτέρως ἄν ἔχῃ, ἐπὶ τὸ ἁπλούστερον καταφεύξεται, λέγων διὰ τοῦτο σῶμα ἑκατέρως νοούμενον τὸν ναὸν ὠνομάσθαι, ἐπεὶ ὥσπερ ὁ ναὸς δόξαν εἶχεν θεοῦ κατασκηνοῦσαν ἐν αὐτῷ, οὕτως εἰκόνα καὶ δόξαν θεοῦ ὑπάρχοντα τὸν πρωτότοκον πάσης κτίσεως, τὸ σῶμα ἢ τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἀγαλματοφοροῦντα ναὸν εὐλόγως εἰρῆσθαι θεοῦ.
