Dialogue with Trypho 10.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:50

Ταύτης οὖν τῆς διαθήκης εὐθέως καταφρονήσαντες ὑμεῖς ἀμελεῖτε καὶ τῶν ἔπειτα, καὶ πείθειν ἡμᾶς ἐπιχειρεῖτε ὡς εἰδότες τὸν θεόν, μηδὲν πράσσοντες ὧν οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν. Εἰ οὖν ἔχεις πρὸς ταῦτα ἀπολογήσασθαι, καὶ ἐπιδεῖξαι ᾧτινι τρόπῳ ἐλπίζετε ὁτιοῦν, κἂν μὴ φυλάσσοντες τὸν νόμον, τοῦτό σου ἡδέως ἀκούσαιμεν μάλιστα, καὶ τὰ ἄλλα δὲ ὁμοίως συνεξετάσωμεν.

English · Claude translation

“You, then, despising this covenant outright, neglect also what follows, and try to persuade us that you know God, though you do none of the things done by those who fear God. If, then, you can defend yourself on these points, and show in what way you hope for anything even though you do not keep the law, we would gladly hear this from you above all, and let us examine the other matters in the same way.”
