Dialogue with Trypho 39.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:176

Οἱ λαβόντες οὖν ἡμεῖς δόματα παρὰ τοῦ εἰς ὕψος ἀναβάντος Χριστοῦ ὑμᾶς, τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐνώπιον ἑαυτῶν ἐπιστήμονας, ἀπὸ τῶν προφητικῶν λόγων ἀποδείκνυμεν ἀνοήτους καὶ χείλεσι μόνον τιμῶντας τὸν θεὸν καὶ τὸν Χριστὸν αὐτοῦ· ἡμεῖς δὲ καὶ ἐν ἔργοις καὶ γνώσει καὶ καρδίᾳ μέχρι θανάτου, οἱ ἐκ πάσης τῆς ἀληθείας μεμαθητευμένοι τιμῶμεν.

English · Claude translation

“We, then, who have received gifts from Christ who went up on high, prove from the prophetic words that you, who are wise in yourselves and learned in your own sight, are foolish and honor God and his Christ with your lips only; but we, who have been taught the whole truth, honor him in works and knowledge and heart, even to death.
