καὶ ταῦτα δέ μοι δοκεῖ ἀναγκαιότατα ἐξητάσθαι, ἵνα τό τε „σήμερον“ νοηθῇ καὶ τὸ „καθ᾿ ἡμέραν,“ ὅτε „τὸν · ἐπιούσιον“ „ἄρτον“ δοθῆναι „ἡμῖν“ ἀπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ εὐχόμεθα. εἰ κατὰ τελευταῖον δὲ βιβλίον πρότερον ἐξετάζομεν τὸ „ἡμῶν,“ ἐπεὶ λέγεται οὐχί· „τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον“ ἀλλὰ „τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν καθ᾿ ἡμέραν,“ ὅμως γε ἐξεταστέον, πῶς „ἡμῶν“ ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος οὗτος. διδάσκει δὴ ὁ ἀπόστολος ὅτι „εἴτε ζωὴ εἴτε θάνατος εἴτε ἐνεστῶτα εἴτε μέλλοντα, πάντα“ τῶν ἁγίων ἐστί· (περὶ οὗ) οὐκ ἀναγκαῖον ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος λέγειν.
