Dialogue with Trypho 127.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 2:254

Ἐπεὶ ἐὰν μὴ οὕτω νοήσωμεν τὰς γραφάς, συμβήσεται τὸν πατέρα καὶ κύριον τῶν ὅλων μὴ γεγενῆσθαι τότε ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ὅτε διὰ Μωσέως λέλεκται· Καὶ κύριος ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ Σόδομα πῦρ καὶ θεῖον παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ πάλιν διὰ Δαυῒδ ὅτε λέλεκται οὕτως· Ἄρατε πύλας οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπάρθητε πύλαι αἰώνιοι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης· καὶ πάλιν ὅτε φησί· Λέγει κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.

English · Claude translation

“For if we do not understand the Scriptures so, it will follow that the Father and Lord of all was not in the heavens when it was said through Moses, ‘And the Lord rained on Sodom fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven’; and again when it was said thus through David, ‘Lift up your gates, you rulers, and be lifted up, you everlasting gates, and the King of glory shall come in’; and again when he says, ‘The Lord says to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.’
