Greek text · Dindorf 4:68

εἰ δ‘ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἀντιλέγων τις ἔτι σκληρύνοιτο, καὶ οὗτος ἀπαλλαττέσθω τῆς δυσπιστίας, ἐναργεστέραις πειθαρχῶν ἀποδείξεσιν, ἃς οὐ παρά τισιν, ἢ μόνῃ τῇ τῶν Χριστιανῶν εὑρεῖν ἔστι κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον θρησκείᾳ.

English · Claude translation

But if, in spite of this, anyone still obstinately contradicts, let him too give up his unbelief, yielding to clearer proofs, which are to be found nowhere else but in the religion of the Christians according to the gospel.
