[127] ταύτῃ καὶ τὰς πόλεις τῶν Λευιτῶν „λυτρωτὰς διὰ παντὸς“ εἶναί φησιν (Lev. 25, 32), ὅτι ὁ θεοῦ θεραπευτὴς αἰώνιον
ἐλευθερίαν κεκάρπωται κατὰ τὰς συνεχεῖς τροπὰς τῆς ἀεικινήτου ψυχῆς ἰάσεις δεχόμενος ἐπαλλήλους· τὸ γὰρ λυτρωτὰς μὴ ἅπαξ ἀλλὰ διὰ παντός, ὥς φησι, γίνεσθαι τοιοῦτον ὑποβάλλει νοῦν, ἀεὶ μὲν τρέπεσθαι, ἀεὶ δὲ ἐλευθεροῦσθαι, τῆς μὲν τροπῆς διὰ τὸ φύσει θνητὸν ἐγγινομένης, τῆς δὲ ἐλευθερίας χάριτι τοῦ εὐεργέτου, ὃν κλῆρον ἔλαχεν, βεβαιουμένης.
