To the same person.

Is it no ordinary danger that hangs over you? In Deuteronomy [the fifth book of Moses], if you do not believe in Christ, and worship him, and obey him, and submit to him in every duty. For the lawgiver [Moses] says: "And it shall come to pass that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the divine people."

Latin / Greek Original

Οὐχ ὁ τυχὼν ἐπικρεμάσθαι σοι κίνδυνος; ἐν τῷ Δευτερονομίῳ, ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύῃς, τῷ Χριστῷ, καὶ προσκυνήσῃς, καὶ ὑπακούσῃς αὐτῷ, καὶ ὑποταγῇς, ἐν παντὶ καθήκοντι. Φησὶ γὰρ ὁ νομοθέτης «Ἔσται δέ, πᾶσα ψυχή, ἥτις μὴ ἀκούσει τοῦ προφήτου ἐκείνου, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ θείου λαοῦ.»
