2-7:7
Καὶ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν Στωϊκῶν δὲ δογμάτων, ἐπειδὴ κἂν τὸν ἠθικὸν λόγον κόσμιοι γεγόνασιν, ὡς καὶ ἔν τισιν σι ποιηταί, διὰ τὸ ἔμφυτον παντὶ γένει ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα τοῦ λόγου, μεμισῆσθαι καὶ πεφονεῦσθαι οἴδαμεν· Ἡράκλειτον μέν, ὡς προέφημεν, καὶ Μουσώνιον δὲ ἐν τοῖς καθ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἄλλους οἴδαμεν. Ὡς γὰρ ἐσημάναμεν, πάντας τοὺς κἂν ὁπωσδήποτε κατὰ λόγον βιοῦν σπουδάζοντας καὶ κακίαν φεύγειν μισεῖσθαι ἀεὶ ἐνήργησαν οἱ δαίμονες. Οὐδὲν δὲ θαυμαστόν, εἰ τοὺς οὐ κατὰ σπερματικοῦ λόγου μέρος, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν τοῦ παντὸς λόγου, ὅ ἐστι Χριστοῦ, γνῶσιν καὶ θεωρίαν πολὺ μᾶλλον μισεῖσθαι οἱ δαίμονες ἐλεγχόμενοι ἐνεργοῦσιν· οἳ τὴν ἀξίαν κόλασιν καὶ τιμωρίαν κομίσονται ἐν αἰωνίῳ πυρὶ ἐγκλεισθέντες. Εἰ γὰρ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἤδη διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἡττῶνται, δίδαγμά ἐστι τῆς καὶ μελλούσης αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς λατρεύουσιν αὐτοῖς ἐσομένης ἐν πυρὶ αἰωνίῳ κολάσεως. Οὕτως καὶ γὰρ οἱ προφῆται πάντες προεκήρυξαν γενήσεσθαι, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἡμέτερος διδάσκαλος ἐδίδαξε
And we know that those of the Stoic doctrines, since at least in their teaching on ethics they were orderly, as also were certain of the poets, on account of the seed of the Word implanted in every race of men, were hated and put to death—Heraclitus, as we said before, and Musonius in our own times, and others we know. For, as we have indicated, the demons have always brought it about that all who in any way at all are eager to live according to reason and to flee vice should be hated. And it is no wonder if the demons, being convicted, bring it about that those who follow not a part of the seminal word, but the knowledge and contemplation of the whole Word, which is Christ, are hated much more; who will receive their due chastisement and punishment, shut up in eternal fire. For if even now they are overcome by men through the name of Jesus Christ, this is an indication of the chastisement in eternal fire that is to come both upon them and upon those who serve them. For thus all the prophets foretold it would come about, and Jesus our teacher taught it.
我們知道，那些持斯多亞派教義的人，因他們至少在倫理的教訓上是端正的，某些詩人也是如此，這是由於那植根於各族人類中的道的種子;他們也曾被人恨惡、被人殺害——如我們先前所說的赫拉克利特，並我們這時代的穆梭尼烏斯，以及我們所知的其他人。因為如我們所指明的，鬼魔總是設法使凡以任何方式切願照理性而活、躲避惡行的人受人恨惡。鬼魔既被定罪，便設法使那些不只跟從那種子之道的一部分、乃跟從那全備之道——就是基督——的知識與默想的人，受更深的恨惡，這也不足為奇;這些鬼魔必受其當得的責罰與刑罰，被囚在永火中。因為它們如今既已藉耶穌基督的名被人勝過，這就指明那將要臨到它們、並臨到事奉它們之人的永火刑罰。因為眾先知都這樣預言此事必要成就，我們的教師耶穌也這樣教導了。
