Shall he place his fate in the hands of weak gods when there may be stronger ones to be found?
That would be foolish.

No, if he hear of gods that are stronger than his own, he should not turn a deaf ear, for it is not a light matter that is at stake.

How then shall he determine which gods are the stronger, his own or those that preside over the concerns of other nations?
By comparing the known works of his own gods with the works of those others; there is no other way.

Now, when we make this comparison, we are not drawn towards the gods of any other nation.

Our gods are shown by their works to be the strongest, the most powerful.
