Greek
Χριστοῦ μαθηταὶ, καὶ ἁπλῶς οἱ πιστοὶ, κόσμος ὄντες αὐτοῦ καὶ δόξα καὶ οἱονεὶ στέφανος τῇ κεφαλῇ ἐπικείμενος. Ἐν μὲν οὖν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ ὁ πατὴρ λέγεται ποιεῖν τῷ υἱῷ τοὺς γάμους, ἐνταῦθα δὲ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν λέγει· "Ἔθηκας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ στέφανον." Στέ φανος δὲ Χριστῷ ἡ Ἐκκλησία γίνεται, διὰ τῶν ἐμ ψύχων λίθων τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐν κύκλῳ διαλαμβάνουσα. Λίθον ἂν εἴποις πολύτιμον καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν Χριστὸν, ὡς ἐκλεκτὸν δηλονότι καὶ ἀξιάγαστον μαργαρίτην, ὃν δέ δωκεν ἡμῖν στέφανον δόξης ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ, εὐ λογῶν ἡμᾶς εὐλογίᾳ ἁγιασμοῦ καὶ χρηστότητος.– (C f. 39 b.) Ἐκ τῶν ἔργων καὶ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτοῦ τις στεφανοῦται. Ἀμέλει ὁ δικαστὴς τὸ δίκαιον διώξας, ἀπολήψεται τὸν τῆς 39
