Dialogue with Trypho 76.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:8

Καί· Πολλοὶ ἐροῦσί μοι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· Κύριε, κύριε, οὐ τῷ σῷ ὀνόματι ἐφάγομεν καὶ ἐπίομεν καὶ προεφητεύσαμεν καὶ δαιμόνια ἐξεβάλομεν; Καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτοῖς· Ἀναχωρεῖτε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. Καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις λόγοις, οἷς καταδικάζειν τοὺς ἀναξίους μὴ σώζεσθαι μέλλει, ἔφη ἐρεῖν· Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον, ὃ ἡτοίμασεν ὁ πατὴρ τῷ σατανᾷ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ.

English · Claude translation

“And: ‘Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, did we not eat and drink and prophesy and cast out demons in your name? And I will say to them: Depart from me.’ And in other words, by which he will condemn the unworthy who are not to be saved, he said he would say: ‘Go into the outer darkness, which the Father has prepared for Satan and his angels.’
