Ὅστις βούλεται τὸ φῶς ἐκεῖνο βλέψαι, | |
Ὀφείλει ταῦτα φυλάττειν ἐν καρδίᾳ· | |
Παθῶν σαρκικῶν καὶ λογισμῶν ἀρχείων, | |
Ὄρκου τε παντός, θυμοῦ καὶ τραχῆς δέ, | |
Καὶ περισπασμοῦ καὶ τῆς μνησικακίας, | |
Καὶ τοῦ μὴ κρῖναι τὸ σύνοχον ἀνθρώπους, | |
Εἶναι δὲ αὐτὸν λογικὸν καὶ τοὺς φρένας, | |
Καθαρόν τε τῶν σαρκικῶν μολυσμάτων, | |
Πρᾶον, ταπεινόν, ἡσύχιον ὑπάρχειν, | |
Ἐξαγγελτικὸν καὶ τῆς εἰρήνης τέκνον, | |
Ἐγκρατῆ εἶναι βρωμάτων καὶ πομάτων, | |
Καὶ τῇ προσευχῇ σχολάζειν ἀνενδότως, | |
Ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις, ἀρχὴν καὶ τέλος ἔχειν, | |
Τὸ κεφάλαιον ἀρετῶν, τὴν ἀγάπην. |
