Summary: Justin will not be moved by mockery.

Greek text · Archambault 1:320

Καὶ ἐγὼ πρὸς ταῦτα ἔφην· Ὤ Τρύφων, ἐκεῖνό σε πεπεῖσθαι βούλομαι καὶ πάντας ἁπλῶς ἀνθρώπους, ὅτι, κἄν γελοιάζοντες ἢ ἐπιτωθάζοντες χείρονα λέγητε, οὐκ ἐκστήσετέ με τῶν προκειμένων, ἀλλʼ ἐξ ὧν εἰς ἔλεγχον νομίζετε προβάλλειν λόγων τε ἢ πραγμάτων, ἐξ αὐτῶν τὰς ἀποδείξεις τῶν ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ λεγομένων μετὰ μαρτυρίας τῶν γραφῶν ἀεὶ ποιήσομαι.

English · Claude translation

And I said to this, “Trypho, I want you and all men to be persuaded of this, that even if you mock or jeer and say worse things, you will not move me from my purpose; but from the very words or facts you think to put forward in refutation, I will always make the proofs of what I say, with the testimony of the Scriptures.
