Therefore, Irenaeus was moved to write a letter to Florinus, saying: “These doctrines, Florinus,... are not of sound understanding; these doctrines are not consistent with the church, and involve those who follow them in the greatest impiety;... these doctrines those presbyters who were before us, and who were conversant with the apostles, did not hand down to thee. ”
Sellepärast kirjutas Irenaeus Florinusele kirja, öeldes: „Need õpetused, Florinus,... ei ole mitte selge arusaamine; need õpetused ei ole ühtsed kirikuga ning need viivad nende järgijad suurimasse jumalatusse;... neid õpetusi ei jätnud sinule meie eel käinud vanemad, kes suhtlesid apostlitega. ”
