(1) Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.	(1) Πλοῦν τις πάλιν στελλόµενος καὶ ἄγρια µέλλων διοδεύειν κύµατα τοῦ φέροντος αὐτὸν πλοίου σαθρότερον ξύλον ἐπιβοᾶται.

(5) Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.	(5) θέλεις δὲ µὴ ἀργὰ εἶναι τὰ τῆς σοφίας σου ἔργα· διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἐλαχίστῳ ξύλῳ πιστεύουσιν ἄνθρωποι ψυχὰς καὶ διελθόντες κλύδωνα σχεδίᾳ διεσώθησαν.

(6) For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.	(6) καὶ ἀρχῆς γὰρ ἀπολλυµένων ὑπερηφάνων γιγάντων ἡ ἐλπὶς τοῦ κόσµου ἐπὶ σχεδίας καταφυγοῦσα ἀπέλιπεν αἰῶνι σπέρµα γενέσεως τῇ σῇ κυβερνηθεῖσα χειρί.

(8) But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.	(8) τὸ χειροποίητον δέ, ἐπικατάρατον αὐτὸ καὶ ὁ ποιήσας αὐτό, ὅτι ὁ µὲν ἠργάζετο, τὸ δὲ φθαρτὸν θεὸς ὠνοµάσθη.

(11) Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.	(11) διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἐν εἰδώλοις ἐθνῶν ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται, ὅτι ἐν κτίσµατι θεοῦ εἰς βδέλυγµα ἐγενήθησαν καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλα ψυχαῖς ἀνθρώπων καὶ εἰς παγίδα ποσὶν ἀφρόνων.

(14) For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.	(14) κενοδοξίᾳ γὰρ ἀνθρώπων εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσµον, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο σύντοµον αὐτῶν τὸ τέλος ἐπενοήθη.

(15) ἀώρῳ γὰρ πένθει τρυχόµενος πατὴρ τοῦ ταχέως ἀφαιρεθέντος τέκνου εἰκόνα ποιήσας τόν ποτε νεκρὸν ἄνθρωπον νῦν ὡς θεὸν ἐτίµησεν καὶ παρέδωκεν τοῖς ὑποχειρίοις µυστήρια καὶ τελετάς·

(16) εἶτα ἐν χρόνῳ κρατυνθὲν τὸ ἀσεβὲς ἔθος ὡς νόµος ἐφυλάχθη.

(17) Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.	(17) καὶ τυράννων ἐπιταγαῖς ἐθρησκεύετο τὰ γλυπτά, οὓς ἐν ὄψει µὴ δυνάµενοι τιµᾶν ἄνθρωποι διὰ τὸ µακρὰν οἰκεῖν τὴν πόρρωθεν ὄψιν ἀνατυπωσάµενοι ἐµφανῆ εἰκόνα τοῦ τιµωµένου βασιλέως ἐποίησαν, ἵνα ὡς παρόντα τὸν ἀπόντα κολακεύωσιν διὰ τῆς σπουδῆς.

(19) ὁ µὲν γὰρ τάχα κρατοῦντι βουλόµενος ἀρέσαι ἐξεβιάσατο τῇ τέχνῃ τὴν ὁµοιότητα ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλιον·

(20) And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.	(20) τὸ δὲ πλῆθος ἐφελκόµενον διὰ τὸ εὔχαρι τῆς ἐργασίας τὸν πρὸ ὀλίγου τιµηθέντα ἄνθρωπον νῦν σέβασµα ἐλογίσαντο.

(21) And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.	(21) καὶ τοῦτο ἐγένετο τῷ βίῳ εἰς ἔνεδρον, ὅτι ἢ συµφορᾷ ἢ τυραννίδι δουλεύσαντες ἄνθρωποι τὸ ἀκοινώνητον ὄνοµα λίθοις καὶ ξύλοις περιέθεσαν.

(22) Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.	(22) Εἶτ’ οὐκ ἤρκεσεν τὸ πλανᾶσθαι περὶ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ γνῶσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν µεγάλῳ ζῶντες ἀγνοίας πολέµῳ τὰ τοσαῦτα κακὰ εἰρήνην προσαγορεύουσιν.

(23) For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;	(23) ἢ γὰρ τεκνοφόνους τελετὰς ἢ κρύφια µυστήρια ἢ ἐµµανεῖς ἐξάλλων θεσµῶν κώµους ἄγοντες

(24) They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him by adultery.	(24) οὔτε βίους οὔτε γάµους καθαροὺς ἔτι φυλάσσουσιν, ἕτερος δ’ ἕτερον ἢ λοχῶν ἀναιρεῖ ἢ νοθεύων ὀδυνᾷ.

(26) Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.

(27) For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

(28) For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.

(29) For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.
