Κατὰ τοῦτο γὰρ ἔφασαν ἐλπίζειν, μετὰ τὴν ἀπαλλαγὴν τῆς ἐνταῦθα βιοτῆς, πρὸς τῷ τέλει τοῦ παρόντος αἰῶνος, ἀνίστασθαι πάντας ἀνθρώπους, καὶ ἀθανάτους ἔσεσθαι: τοὺ μὲν, ἐπὶ ἀμοιβαῖς ὧν εὖ ἐβίωσαν ἐν τούτοις τοῖς πράγμασι: τοὺς δὲ, ἐπὶ τιμωρίαις ὧν κακῶς ἔδρασαν: εἶναι μέντοι καὶ τοῖς ἐνταῦθα πλημμελήμασιν ἀφορμὴν σωτηρίας, καὶ καθαρμὸν ἁμαρτημάτων, ἀμυήτοις μὲν μύησιν κατὰ τὸν νόμον τῆς ἐκκλησίας: τοῖς δὲ μεμυημένοις τὸ μὴ πάλιν ἁμαρτεῖν.
