To the Philadelphians 5.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:242–244

καὶ τοὺς προφήτας δὲ ἀγαπῶμεν, διὰ τὸ καὶ αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον κατηγγελκέναι καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν ἐλπίζειν καὶ αὐτὸν ἀναμένειν, ἐν ᾧ καὶ πιστεύσαντες ἐσώθησαν, ἐν ἑνότητι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ὄντες, ἀξιαγάπητοι καὶ ἀξιοθαύμαστοι ἅγιοι, ὑπὸ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεμαρτυρημένοι καὶ συνηριθμημένοι ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τῆς κοινῆς ἐλπίδος.

English · Claude translation

And let us love the prophets too, because they also proclaimed the gospel and hoped in him and waited for him. By believing in him they were saved, being in the unity of Jesus Christ, saints worthy of love and admiration, attested by Jesus Christ and counted together in the gospel of our common hope.
