οὗτοι μὲν οὖν ὥσπερ ἀπ’ ἀγχόνης τῆς ἐπιθυμίας ἐκκρεμάσθωσαν. Ἀβραὰμ δὲ ὁ σοφὸς ἐπειδὴ ἕστηκε, συνεγγίζει τῷ ἑστῶτι θεῷ· λέγει γὰρ ὅτι „ἑστὼς ἦν ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἐγγίσας εἶπεν“ (Gen. 18, 22. 23). ὄντως γὰρ ἀτρέπτῳ ψυχῇ πρὸς τὸν ἄτρεπτον θεὸν μόνῃ πρόσοδός ἐστι, καὶ ἡ τοῦτον διακειμένη τὸν τρόπον ἐγγὺς ὡς ἀληθῶς ἵσταται δυνάμεως θείας.
