Dialogue with Trypho 35.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:154–156

Κἀγὼ ἀπεκρινάμην· Καὶ ἐκ τοῦ τοιούτους εἶναι ἄνδρας, ὁμολογοῦντας ἑαυτοὺς εἶναι Χριστιανοὺς καὶ τὸν σταυρωθέντα Ἰησοῦν ὁμολογεῖν καὶ κύριον καὶ Χριστόν, καὶ μὴ τὰ ἐκείνου διδάγματα διδάσκοντας ἀλλὰ τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν τῆς πλάνης πνευμάτων, ἡμεῖς, οἱ τῆς ἀληθινῆς Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ καθαρᾶς διδασκαλίας, μαθηταί, πιστότεροι καὶ βεβαιότεροι γινόμεθα ἐν τῇ ἐλπίδι τῇ κατηγγελμένῃ ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ. Ἃ γὰρ προλαβὼν μέλλειν γίνεσθαι ἐν ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔφη, ταῦτα ὄψει καὶ ἐνεργείᾳ ὁρῶμεν τελούμενα.

English · Claude translation

And I answered, “From the fact that there are such men, who confess themselves to be Christians and confess the crucified Jesus as both Lord and Christ, but teach not his teachings but those of the spirits of error, we who are disciples of the true and pure teaching of Jesus Christ become more faithful and more firm in the hope he proclaimed. For what he said beforehand would happen in his name, these things we see fulfilled before our eyes and in fact.
