βεβαιοῦται δέ μου τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν ὁ νόμος λέγων, ὅτι οἱ „τὸ ἀρεστὸν” τῇ φύσει δρῶντες καὶ „τὸ καλὸν” υἱοί εἰσι τοῦ θεοῦ, φησὶ γάρ· „υἱοί ἐστε κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν” (Deut. 14, 1), δηλονότι προνοίας καὶ κηδεμονίας ἀξιωθησόμενοι τῆς ὡς ἐκ πατρός· ἡ δὲ ἐπιμέλεια τοσοῦτον διοίσει τῆς ἀπ’ ἀνθρώπων, ὅσονπερ, οἶμαι, καὶ ὁ ἐπιμελούμενος διαφέρει.
