ὥσπερ γὰρ οἱ ἀληϑινοὶ προσκυνηταί, κατὰ τὴν ϑείαν ὑπόμνησιν τοῦ κυρίου, οἱ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληϑείᾳ προσκυνοῦντες τῷ ϑεῷ, ἀφομοιοῦνται τῇ δόξη τοῦ ϑεοῦ xai εἰσὶν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀϑάνατοι, μεταλαβόντες τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς διὰ τοῦ λόγου, οὕτως x«i οἱ τούτοις λατρεύοντες ἀφομοιοῦνται τῇ ματαιότητι τῶν δαιμόνων καὶ σὺν αὐτοῖς ἀπόλλυνται ἐν γεέννῃ·

For just as the true worshippers—according to the Lord's divine reminder, those who worship God in spirit and truth—are made like the glory of God and are immortal with him, having received eternal life through the Word, so also those who serve these are made like the vanity of the demons and perish with them in Gehenna.

Notes and citation
Summary: True worshippers become like God; idol-worshippers become like the demons.

Chapter 8
8Gebhardt, 13
δίκη γὰρ δικαία ἐστὶν μετὰ τοῦ πλανήσαντος τὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸ ἐξαίρετον κτίσμα τοῦ ϑεοῦ, λέγω δὴ τοῦ διαβόλου τοῦ παραζηλώσαντος οἰχείᾳ πονηρίᾳ ⟨τοὺς δαίμονας⟩ ἐπὶ τοῦτο. ὅϑεν γίνωσχε, ἀνθϑύπατε, μὴ ϑύειν με τούτοις.

For it is a just penalty that they share the lot of him who led humanity astray—humanity, the chosen creature of God—I mean the devil, who out of his own wickedness incited ⟨the demons⟩ to this. Know, then, proconsul, that I do not sacrifice to these.”
Textual problem in this passage: see the notes.

Do not be surprised that they give oracles and deceive. For the devil, having fallen from the beginning from his glorious rank, by his own wickedness ⟨sets at nought⟩ God's love for humanity; and, hard pressed by the saints, he fights against them, prepares wars in advance, and, anticipating them, announces them to his own.
Textual problem in this passage: see the notes.
