Εἰκότως οὖν ἄρα καὶ τὴν ἀληθῆ περὶ τῶν θείων καὶ τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων δόξαν οὐ λαμπροί τινες καὶ ὄγκον ἔχοντες, ἀλλ' ἁπλοῖ καὶ πεζοὶ καὶ πᾶσι γνώριμοι κηρύττουσι λόγοι, καὶ τὸν μέγαν καὶ ἄρρητον θησαυρὸν εὐτελεῖς ἄγαν φέρουσι θῆκαι. Ὅσην δέ γε οὗτοι ῥώμην καὶ δύναμιν ἔχουσι, ῥᾷστα ἄν τις ξυνίδοι, τοὺς Ἑλλήνων καὶ Ῥωμαίων νομοθέτας παραγαγὼν καὶ τούτοις τοὺς ἡμετέρους ἁλιέας καὶ τελώνας παρεξετάσας. Εὑρήσει γὰρ τοὺς μὲν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὁμόρους πείσαντας κατὰ τοὺς σφῶν πολιτεύεσθαι νόμους, τοὺς δὲ Γαλιλαίους οὐ μόνον Ῥωμαίους πεπεικότας καὶ Ἕλληνας, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντα τῶν βαρβάρων τὰ φῦλα τὴν εὐαγγελικὴν νομοθεσίαν ἀσπάσασθαι.
