[29] αἴτιον δὲ τῆς ἀνεπιστημοσύνης μέγιστον ἡ σὰρξ καὶ ἡ πρὸς σάρκα οἰκείωσις· καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁμολογεῖ φάσκων „διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς σάρκας“
μὴ δύνασθαι τὸ θεῖον πνεῦμα καταμεῖναι. καίτοι καὶ γάμος καὶ παιδοτροφία καὶ πορισμὸς τῶν ἀναγκαίων ἀδοξία τε μετὰ ἀχρηματίας καὶ πραγματεῖαι, ὧν αἱ μὲν ἴδιαι αἱ δὲ κοιναί, καὶ μυρία ἄλλα, πρὶν σοφίαν ¹ ἀνθῆσαι, κατεμάραναν.

[29] And the greatest cause of our ignorance is the flesh, and our inseparable connection with the flesh. And this, Moses represents God as admitting, where he says that, "Because they are flesh," the spirit of God cannot abide in them. And yet marriage and the rearing of children, and the furnishing of necessary things, and ingloriousness conjoined with a want of money and business, both private and public, and a countless number of other things cause wisdom to waste away, before it begins to flourish vigorously.
