Dialogue with Trypho 130.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:264

Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἡμᾶς τὰ ἔθνη λέγει εὐφραίνεσθαι μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, λέγω Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ τοὺς προφήτας καὶ ἁπλῶς τοὺς ἀπʼ ἐκείνου τοῦ λαοῦ πάντας εὐαρεστοῦντας τῷ θεῷ, κατὰ τὰ προωμολογημένα ἡμῖν· ἀλλʼ οὐ πάντας τοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ γένους ὑμῶν ἀκουσόμεθα, ἐπειδὴ ἔγνωμεν καὶ διὰ Ἡσαΐου τὰ κῶλα τῶν παραβεβηκότων ὑπὸ σκώληκος καὶ ἀπαύστου πυρὸς διαβιβρώσκεσθαι μέλλειν, ἀθάνατα μένοντα, ὥστε καὶ εἶναι εἰς ὅρασιν πάσης σαρκός.

English · Claude translation

“And having said this, he says that we the nations rejoice with his people, I mean Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and the prophets and in a word all from that people who are pleasing to God, according to what we have already agreed; but we shall not understand it of all of your race, since we have learned also through Isaiah that the limbs of the transgressors are to be consumed by the worm and the unceasing fire, remaining immortal, so as to be a spectacle to all flesh.
