Ἤτοι διάκρισις ἡ περὶ τῶν πρακτέων, ἢ μή· ἢ ὥστε τὸν ἑαυτῶν βίον οἰκονομεῖν· κλυδώνιον γάρ ἐστι μέγα καὶ ἀφόρητον· οἱ τοιοῦτοι γὰρ παντὶ ἀνέμῳ περιφερόμενοι ναυαγοῦσι περὶ τὸν βίον ἢ τὴν πίστιν, καὶ ὡς φύλλα δένδρου πίπτουσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, οἷς μὴ ὑπάρχει σοφία Θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ ἡ σωτηρία ἐστὶν ἐν βουλῇ, καὶ οὐχ ἁπλῶς βουλῇ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πολλῇ, οὐκ ἄρα ἐν σώμασιν ἢ χρήμασιν, οὐδὲ κατὰ φύσιν τις σώζεται· κατὰ τοὺς τὰς φύσεις εἰσάγοντας.
