Οὐδέν με ὠφελήσει τὰ πέρατα τοῦ κόσμου οὐδὲ αἱ βασιλεῖαι τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου. καλὸν ἐμοὶ ἀποθανεῖν διὰ Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, ἢ βασιλεύειν τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς. τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος, ἐὰν τὸν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ, τὴν δὲ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἀπολέσῃ; τὸν κύριον ποθῶ, τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρός, Ἰησοῦν τὸν Χριστόν. ἐκεῖνον ζητῶ τὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀποθανόντα καὶ ἀναστάντα.Epistulae interpolatae et epistulae suppositiciae (recensio longior) [Sp.].
