Greek text · Dindorf 4:244

οἶον γοῦν τὸν λόγον, τοιόνδε φασὶ τὸν τρόπον· καὶ οἷον τὸν τρόπον, τοιόνδε τὸν λόγον ἐπεδείκνυτο. διὸ δὴ μάλιστα συναιρομένης αὐτῷ δυνάμεως θείας μυρίους ἐνῆγεν ἐπὶ τὸν αὐτοῦ ζῆλον.

English · Claude translation

As his speech, they say, so was his manner of life; and as his manner of life, so his speech. Hence, with divine power assisting him above all, he led countless people to emulate him.
