85.1
Διὰ οὖν τὴν κενὴν δόξαν καὶ διὰ τὴν ἄμετρον βρῶσιν καὶ πόσιν καὶ τὰς πορνείας ἡ φιλαργυρία, τὸ τούτων ἔρεισμα, φθόνοι τε καὶ ἔριδες καὶ πονηρίαι καὶ ψεῦδος καὶ συκοφαντίαι καὶ ἁρπαγαὶ καὶ φόνοι καὶ τὸ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον μῖσος. «Διὰ γὰρ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐψύγη ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν.» Πολλοὺς δὲ ἔφη τοὺς κεχρημένους τῇ ἀνομίᾳ. Ἐκ τῶν φυσικῶν οὖν ἔρχονται τὰ παρὰ φύσιν τοῦ διαβόλου προσβάλλοντος.
