[40] τιμῶν γὰρ γονεῖς ἢ πένητας ἐλεῶν ἢ φίλους εὐεργετῶν ἢ πατρίδος ὑπερασπίζων ἢ τῶν κοινῶν πρὸς ἅπαντας ἀνθρώπους δικαίων ἐπιμελούμενος εὐαρεστήσεις μὲν πάντως τοῖς χρωμένοις, θεοῦ δ’ ἐνώπιον εὐαρεστήσεις·
ἀκοιμήτῳ γὰρ ὀφθαλμῷ βλέπει πάντα καὶ τὰ σπουδαῖα χάριτι ἐξαιρέτῳ πρὸς ἑαυτὸν καλεῖ καὶ ἀποδέχεται.
