τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν νέον, τὸν ἀνακαινούμενον κατ' εἰκόνα τοῦ κτίσαντος. Ἀλλ' ἐπανέλθωμεν πάντες ἐπὶ τὴν θεοειδῆ χάριν ἐκείνην, ἐν ᾗ ἔκτισε τὸ κατ' ἀρχὰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον ὁ Θεὸς, εἰπών· ὅτι «Ποιήσωμεν ἄνθρωπον κατ' εἰκόνα καὶ ὁμοίωσιν ἡμετέραν.» Ὧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
