Dialogue with Trypho 21.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:92–94

Καὶ ὅτι διὰ τὰς ἀδικίας ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν εἰς σημεῖον, ὡς προέφην, καὶ τὸ σάββατον ἐντέταλται ὁ θεὸς φυλάσσειν ὑμᾶς καὶ τὰ ἄλλα προστάγματα προσετετάχει, καὶ σημαίνει ὅτι διὰ τὰ ἔθνη, ἵνα μὴ βεβηλωθῇ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ παρʼ αὐτοῖς, διὰ τοῦτο εἴασέ τινας ἐξ ὑμῶν ὅλως ζῶντας, αὐταὶ αἱ φωναὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ἀπόδειξιν ποιήσασθαι δύνανται ὑμῖν.

English · Claude translation

“And that God commanded you to keep the Sabbath, and imposed the other precepts, as a sign, as I said before, because of your unrighteousness and that of your fathers; and that he indicates that it was for the sake of the nations, so that his name might not be profaned among them, that he let some of you remain alive at all: his own words can prove this to you.
