Translation
[Meaning] righteous [ones], and upright [ones], and marvelous [ones].1
"[...] and good [men] are divine: for they have in themselves something like a god: but the bad [man is] godless. The godless [man] is of two kinds: the one who is called opposed to god and the one inclined to set divinity at naught -- not to be [divine] is altogether bad. The good are god-fearing: for they are experienced in the customs relating to god."2

Greek original · Adler’s text
Θεῖα· εὐθέα, καὶ ὀρθά, καὶ θαυμαστά. θείους τε εἶναι τοὺς σπουδαίους· ἔχειν γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς οἱονεὶ θεόν· τὸν δὲ φαῦλον ἄθεον. διττὸν δὲ εἶναι τὸν ἄθεον· τόν τε ἐναντίον τῷ θεῷ λεγόμενον καὶ τὸν ἐξουθενητικὸν τοῦ θείου· ὅπερ οὐκ εἶναι περὶ πάντα φαῦλον. θεοσεβεῖς τε τοὺς σπουδαίους· ἐμπείρους γὰρ εἶναι τῶν περὶ θεοῦ νομίμων.
