Canonical: https://interlinea.aeterna-institute.org/library/greek/origen/selecta-in-leviticum/7

Τοῦ αὐτοῦ. « ψυχὴ ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ ἀκουσίως, φησὶ, καὶ μὴ ποιήσῃ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἐντολῶν Κυρίου, κατὰ φύσιν ἔχει. Ἔστι γὰρ τάχα τινὰ καὶ προστάγματα Κορίου, ἃ οὐ δεῖ ποιεῖν κατὰ τό· « Ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς προστάγματα οὐ καλά. » Ψυχὴ οὗν ἁμαρτάνει ἀκουσίως, ὅτε προφάσει εὐσεβείας τὸ μὴ δέον τηρεῖ. Καὶ δεῖται θυσίας πρὸς ἄφεσιν· οὐ δεομένου θυσίας τοῦ δρῶντος ἐξεπίτηδες· ὡς ὁ γεγονὼς Ἰουδαῖος ἵνα Ἰουδαίους κερδήσῃ, καὶ περιτεμὼν τὸν Τιμόθεον.
