[5] ἔστι μὲν γὰρ τὰ πλείω τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τοῦ βίου ἐν ταῖς ἐλπίσιν: ἀσεβῶν δὲ καὶ παραβαίνων τὰ εἰς τοὺς θεοὺς καὶ αὐτῆς ἂν τῆς ἐλπίδος, ὅπερ ἐστὶ μέγιστον ἀνθρώποις ¹ ἀγαθόν, αὐτὸς αὑτὸν ἀποστεροίη. καὶ οὐδεὶς ἂν τολμήσειεν οὔτε τὴν ² δίκην τὴν δεδικασμένην ³ παραβαίνειν, πιστεύσας ὅτι οὐκ ἔνοχός ἐστι τῷ ἔργῳ, οὔτ᾽ αὖ συνειδὼς αὐτὸς αὑτῷ ἔργον εἰργασμένος τοιοῦτον μὴ οὐ χρῆσθαι τῷ νόμῳ: ἀνάγκη δὲ τῆς τε δίκης νικᾶσθαι παρὰ τὸ ἀληθές, αὐτοῦ τε τοῦ ἀληθοῦς, κἂν μὴ ὁ τιμωρήσων ᾖ.
