Dialogue with Trypho 28.3 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:124

Μὴ οὖν εἰς ἀκάνθας σπείρετε καὶ ἀνήροτον χωρίον, ὅθεν ὑμῖν καρπὸς οὐκ ἔστι. Γνῶτε τὸν Χριστόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ νειὸς καλή, καλὴ καὶ πίων ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει κύριος, καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπὶ πάντας περιτετμημένους ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν, ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἐδὼμ καὶ ἐπὶ υἱοὺς Μωάβ, ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἀπερίτμητα καὶ πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀπερίτμητος καρδίας αὐτῶν.

English · Claude translation

“Do not, then, sow among thorns and in unplowed ground, from which you have no fruit. Know Christ, and behold, there is fine fallow ground, fine and rich, in your hearts. ‘For behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will visit all who are circumcised in their foreskins, Egypt and Judah and Edom and the sons of Moab; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in their hearts.’
