Ἐν παντὶ τὸ κρίνειν, διδάσκειν λέγεται· καὶ γὰρ ὁ μεταξὺ δύο ἢ καὶ πλειόνων, περὶ ἑνὸς πράγματος κρίνων, διδάσκει τὸ δίκαιον, καὶ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀδικίας· ὡσαύτως καὶ ἐπὶ ἀρετῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν ὁτιοῦν ἀγαθὸν, τὸ κρίνειν διδάσκειν λέλεκται· ἄνδρα δὲ ἐνταῦθα κρίνειν ἔθνη, τὸν Πέτρον φησὶ, τὸν τὴν οἰκουμένην δδάξαντα τὴν εἰς Χριστὸν πίστιν καὶ εὐσέβειαν (25) καὶ Παῦλον, καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς μετέπειτα διδασκάλους· ἄνδρα δὲ φαῦλον, τοὺς κατὰ Θευδᾶν καὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ Σαμοσατέα (2β), καὶ τοὺς τούτων ὁμόφρονας· ἐπὶ δὲ τὸν φαῦλόν (27) φησινὁ Δαυῖδ· Καὶ ἐπ αὐτὸν γελάσππται, καὶ ἐροῦσιν· Ἰδρὺ ἄνθρωπος, ὅς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν Θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ.
