It is in Book 8. I edited the original post to make this clear.

The George Long translation reads:

For nothing should be done without a purpose.

My Latin version (I don't know who translated it) reads:

Nihil enim temere faciendum.

I'm not sure which version is the most accurate, since I can't understand Koine Greek.
