9.1
Περὶ πάθους. Πάθος ἐστὶ φυσικὸν κίνησις φύσεως παθητικὴ τοῦ πάσχοντος. Ἥτις τῆς μὲν φύσεώς ἐστιν ἐνέργεια, πάθος δὲ τοῦ, περὶ ὃ ἡ ἐνέργεια, οἷον γένεσις, χαρά, λύπη, ἀγωνία, ἀδημονία, φόβος, ὄκνος, κόπος, ὕπνος, ἡδονή, πόνος, θυμός, ἐπιθυμία, τομή, ῥεῦσις καὶ φθορὰ καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα. Ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα πάθη φυσικά εἰσι καὶ ἀδιάβλητα οὐκ ἐφ' ἡμῖν ὄντα. Μόνη δὲ ἡ ἁμαρτία παρὰ φύσιν ἐστὶν ἑκούσιον καὶ αὐθαίρετον τῆς ψυχῆς πάθος κάκιστον καὶ φθορά.
