Καὶ οὔπω τοῦτο δεινὸν θέαμα: ἀλλὰ τὸ πάντων χαλεπώτατον, ὅτι αὐτὸν τὸν μονογενῆ Θεὸν, τὸν κριτὴν τῶν ὄντων, τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς ζωῆς, τὸν καθαιρέτην τοῦ θανάτου, θνητὸν εἶναι κατασκευάζει: καὶ ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ αὐτοῦ θεότητι πάθος δέξασθαι, καὶ ἐν τῇ τριημέρῳ ἐκείνῃ νεκρώσει τοῦ σώματος, καὶ τὴν θεότητα συναπονεκρωθῆναι τῷ σώματι: καὶ οὕτω παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς πάλιν ἀπὸ τοῦ θανάτου διαναστῆναι. Τὰ δὲ ἄλλα ὅσα προστίθησι ταῖς τοιαύταις ἀτοπίαις, μακρὸν ἂν εἴη διεξιέναι.
