Dialogue with Trypho 127.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: The Father is everywhere present by power, uncontained by any place.

Greek text · Archambault 2:252

Ὁ γὰρ ἄρρητος πατὴρ καὶ κύριος τῶν πάντων οὔτε ποι ἀφῖκται οὔτε περιπατεῖ οὔτε καθεύδει οὔτε ἀνίσταται, ἀλλʼ ἐν τῇ αὐτοῦ χώρᾳ, ὅπου ποτέ, μένει, ὀξὺ ὁρῶν καὶ ὀξὺ ἀκούων, οὐκ ὀφθαλμοῖς οὐδὲ ὠσὶν ἀλλὰ δυνάμει ἀλέκτῳ· καὶ πάντα ἐφορᾷ καὶ πάντα γινώσκει, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἡμῶν λέληθεν αὐτόν· οὔτε κινούμενος, ὁ τόπῳ τε ἀχώρητος καὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ὅλῳ ὅς γε ἦν καὶ πρὶν τὸν κόσμον γενέσθαι.

English · Claude translation

“For the ineffable Father and Lord of all neither comes anywhere, nor walks, nor sleeps, nor rises, but remains in his own place, wherever that is, seeing keenly and hearing keenly, not with eyes or ears but with indescribable power; and he oversees all things and knows all things, and none of us escapes his notice; nor is he moved, he who cannot be contained by a place or by the whole world, since he was even before the world came to be.
