1-6:6
Ἔνθεν δὲ καὶ ἄθεοι κεκλήμεθα· καὶ ὁμολογοῦμεν τῶν τοιούτων νομιζομένων θεῶν ἄθεοι εἶναι, ἀλλ οὐχὶ τοῦ ἀληθεστάτου καὶ πατρὸς δικαιοσύνης καὶ σωφροσύνης καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀρετῶν ἀνεπιμίκτου τε κακίας θεοῦ· ἀλλ ἐκεῖνόν τε καὶ παρ αὐτοῦ υἱὸν ἐλθόντα καὶ διδάξαντα ἡμᾶς ταῦτα, καὶ τὸν τῶν ἄλλων ἑπομένων καὶ ἐξομοιουμένων ἀγαθῶν ἀγγέλων στρατόν, πνεῦμά τε τὸ προφητικὸν σεβόμεθα καὶ προσκυνοῦμεν, λόγῳ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ τιμῶντες, καὶ παντὶ βουλομένῳ μαθεῖν, ὡς ἐδιδάχθημεν, ἀφθόνως παραδιδόντες
因這緣故，我們竟被稱為無神論者。我們也承認，對那些所謂的神，我們確是無神論者，但對那至真的神卻並非如此——祂是公義、節制與其餘諸般美德之父，毫無邪惡攙雜。我們所敬拜、所朝拜的，乃是祂、並那從祂而來、將這些事教導我們的子、並那隨從祂、與祂相似的眾善天使的軍隊、以及那預言的靈；我們憑理性與真理尊崇他們。凡願意學習的人，我們也照自己所受的教導，毫不吝惜地傳遞給他。
On this account we are even called atheists. And we do confess that we are atheists with respect to such supposed gods, but not with respect to the most true God, the Father of righteousness and self-control and the other virtues, who is unmixed with evil. But him, and the Son who came from him and taught us these things, and the host of the other good angels who follow and are made like him, and the prophetic Spirit, we worship and adore, honoring them with reason and truth; and to everyone who wishes to learn, as we ourselves were taught, we ungrudgingly hand it on.
