§12.16.1Ἐπὶ τοῦ φαντασίαν παρασχόντος ὅτι ἥμαρτε· τί δαὶ οἶδα εἰ τοῦτο ἁμάρτημα;
In the case of one who has given you the impression that he did wrong: how do I know after all if this is a wrong?
εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥμαρτεν, ὅτι κατέκρινεν αὐτὸς ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὕτως ὅμοιον τοῦτο τῷ καταδρύπτειν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὄψιν.
And even if he did wrong, he has already condemned himself, and this is like tearing his own face.
Ὅτι ὁ μὴ θέλων τὸν φαῦλον ἁμαρτάνειν ὅμοιος τῷ μὴ θέλοντι τὴν συκῆν ὀπὸν ἐν τοῖς σύκοις φέρειν καὶ τὰ βρέφη κλαυθμυρίζεσθαι καὶ τὸν ἵππον χρεμετίζειν καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα ἀναγκαῖα.
He who does not wish the bad man to do wrong is like one who does not wish the fig tree to bear juice in its figs, and infants to cry, and the horse to neigh, and all other things that are necessary.
τί γὰρ πάθῃ τὴν ἕξιν ἔχων τοιαύτην;
For what else can he do, having such a disposition?
εἰ οὖν γοργὸς εἶ, ταύτην θεράπευσον.
If then you are clever, cure this disposition.
