Epistle of Barnabas 14.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:390–392

ἐφανερώθη δέ, ἵνα κἀκεῖνοι τελειωθῶσιν τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασιν, καὶ ἡμεῖς διὰ τοῦ κληρονομοῦντος διαθήκην κυρίου Ἰησοῦ λάβωμεν, ὃς εἰς τοῦτο ἡτοιμάσθη, ἵνα αὐτὸς φανείς, τὰς ἤδη δεδαπανημένας ἡμῶν καρδίας τῷ θανάτῳ καὶ παραδεδομένας τῇ τῆς πλάνης ἀνομίᾳ λυτρωσάμενος ἐκ τοῦ σκότους, διάθηται ἐν ἡμῖν διαθήκην λόγῳ.

English · Claude translation

And he was manifested, so that they might be made complete in their sins, and we might receive the covenant through the Lord Jesus who inherited it, who was prepared for this, so that, when he appeared, he might redeem from darkness our hearts, already spent by death and handed over to the lawlessness of error, and establish a covenant in us by his word.
