15. Si quidem aliquid melius et utilius saluti hominum quam pati fuisset, Christus utique verbo et exemplo ostendisset. Nam et se sequentes discipulos omnesque eum sequi cupientes, manifeste ad crucem portandam hortatur, et dicit: Si quis vult venire post me, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequatur me. Omnibus ergo perlectis et scrutatis sit ista finalis conclusio: quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei. Amen.
