Ἀλλʼ ὅτι τὰ ἔθνη μετανοεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας, ἐν ᾗ πλανώμενοι ἐπολιτεύοντο, ἀκούσαντα τὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ κηρυχθέντα καὶ διʼ αὐτῶν μαθόντα λόγον, καὶ λόγους βραχεῖς λέγοντός μου ἀπὸ προφητείας Μιχαίου, ἑνὸς τῶν δώδεκα, ἀνάσχεσθε.

English · Claude translation

“But that the nations would repent of the wickedness in which they lived astray, when they heard the word preached by his apostles from Jerusalem and learned through them, bear with me while I say a few words from the prophecy of Micah, one of the twelve.
