Dialogue with Trypho 100.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:120

Ἀπεκάλυψεν οὖν ἡμῖν πάντα ὅσα καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γραφῶν διὰ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ νενοήκαμεν, γνόντες αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον μὲν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πρὸ πάντων τῶν κτισμάτων, καὶ τῶν πατριαρχῶν υἱόν, ἐπειδή, διὰ τῆς ἀπὸ γένους αὐτῶν παρθένου σαρκοποιηθείς, ἄνθρωπος ἀειδὴς καὶ ἄτιμος καὶ παθητὸς ὑπέμεινε γενέσθαι.

English · Claude translation

“He has revealed to us, then, all that we have understood from the Scriptures too by his grace, knowing him to be the firstborn of God and before all creatures, and the son of the patriarchs, since, having been made flesh through the virgin of their race, he endured to become a man without form and honor and subject to suffering.
