ἀλλ’ ἐπειδὴ τῶν δυεῖν δυνάμεων ἡ μὲν εὐεργέτις ἐστίν, ἡ δὲ κολαστήριος, ἑκατέρα κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἐπιφαίνεται τῇ Σοδομιτῶν γῇ, διότι τῶν ἀρίστων ἐν αὐτῇ πέντε πόλεων τέτταρες μὲν ἔμελλον ἐμπίπρασθαι, μία δὲ ἀπαθὴς παντὸς κακοῦ σῷος ὑπολείπεσθαι· ἐχρῆν γὰρ διὰ μὲν τῆς κολαστηρίου γίνεσθαι τὴν φθοράν, σῴζεσθαι δὲ διὰ τῆς εὐεργέτιδος.
