[13] ὑπαίτιοι δὲ πάντες οὗτοι· μόνος δ’ ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος ὁ ἀναθεὶς τὴν ἐλπίδα θεῷ καὶ ὡς αἰτίῳ τῆς γενέσεως αὐτῆς καὶ
¹ ὡς ἀσινῆ καὶ ἀδιάφθορον ἱκανῷ μόνῳ διαφυλάξαι. τί οὖν ἆθλον πρόκειται τῷ στεφανωθέντι τὸν ἀγῶνα τοῦτον; τὸ μικτὸν ἐκ θνητῆς καὶ ἀθανάτου φύσεως ζῷον, ὁ ἄνθρωπος, οὔθ’ ὁ αὐτὸς οὔθ’ ἕτερος ὢν τοῦ λαβόντος.

On Rewards and Punishments First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 3. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 13 focus

[13] And all these men are very blameable, and he alone is worthy of being accepted who attributes his hope to God, both as being the author of his birth and as being alone able to keep him free from injury and free from utter destruction. What reward, then, is assigned to the man who is crowned as conqueror in this contest? Man is a compound animal, made up of a mortal and immortal nature, not being the same with nor yet entirely different from the one who has obtained the prize.
