Greek text · Archambault 1:202

Ἐὰν δέ τινες καὶ νῦν ζῆν βούλωνται φυλάσσοντες τὰ διὰ Μωσέως διαταχθέντα καὶ πιστεύσωσιν ἐπὶ τοῦτον τὸν σταυρωθέντα Ἰησοῦν, ἐπιγνόντες ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ αὐτῷ δέδοται τὸ κρῖναι πάντας ἁπλῶς καὶ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ αἰώνιος βασιλεία, δύνανται καὶ αὐτοὶ σωθῆναι; ἐπυνθάνετό μου.

English · Claude translation

“But if some even now wish to live keeping what was ordained through Moses, and believe in this Jesus who was crucified, recognizing that he is the Christ of God, and that to him it has been given to judge all without exception, and that his is the eternal kingdom, can they too be saved?” he asked me.
