Dialogue with Trypho 65.7
Summary: In context, God gives his glory to the one he appointed as light of the nations.
Greek text · Archambault 1:312–314
Καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἔφην πρὸς αὐτούς· Νενοήκατε, ὦ φίλοι, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς λέγει δώσειν τούτῳ, ὃν εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν κατέστησε, δόξαν καὶ οὐκ ἄλλῳ τινί, ἀλλʼ οὐχ, ὡς ἔφη Τρύφων, ὡς ἑαυτῷ κατέχοντος τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δόξαν; Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων ἀπεκρίνατο· Νενοήκαμεν καὶ τοῦτο· πέραινε τοιγαροῦν καὶ τὰ ἐπίλοιπα τοῦ λόγου.
English · Claude translation
And having said this I said to them, “Have you understood, friends, that God says he will give glory to this one whom he has appointed for a light of the nations, and to no other; and not, as Trypho said, that God keeps the glory for himself?” And Trypho answered, “We have understood this too; so finish the rest of the argument.”
