Greek text · Archambault 1:322

Ἐπεὶ πάλιν, ὦ Τρύφων, μὴ συντίθεσαι οἷς φθάνεις συντεθειμένος, ἀπόκριναί μοι· Οἱ πρὸ Μωσέως γενόμενοι δίκαιοι καὶ πατριάρχαι, μηδὲν φυλάξαντες τῶν ὅσα ἀποδείκνυσιν ὁ λόγος ἀρχὴν διαταγῆς εἰληφέναι διὰ Μωσέως, σώζονται ἐν τῇ τῶν μακαρίων κληρονομίᾳ ἢ οὔ;

English · Claude translation

“But since, Trypho, you again do not agree to what you had already agreed, answer me: are the righteous men and patriarchs who were before Moses, who kept none of the things which the word shows began to be ordained through Moses, saved in the inheritance of the blessed, or not?”
