[117] ἐὰν οὖν ἐμποδοστατῇ πρὸς τὰς ἀμείνους ἐπιδόσεις ἡ φύσις, μὴ ἀνόνητα ἀντιτείνωμεν, συμπραττούσης δὲ ἀπαρχαῖς καὶ τιμαῖς γεραίρωμεν
τὸ θεῖον, αἳ λύτρα τῆς ἡμετέρας ψυχῆς εἰσι, δεσποτῶν ἀνημέρων αὐτὴν ἀπαλλάττουσαι καὶ εἰς ἐλευθερίαν ἐξαιρούμεναι.

[117] If therefore nature hinders one’s improvement for the better, let us not strive against her in an unprofitable way, but if she co-operates with us then let us honour the Deity with first fruits and honours, which are the ransom of our soul, emancipating it from subjection to cruel masters, and elevating it to freedom.
