For He enjoined you to place around you [a fringe] of purple dye, in order that you might not forget God; and He commanded you to wear a phylactery, certain characters, which indeed we consider holy, being engraved on very thin parchment; and by these means stirring you up to retain a constant remembrance of God: at the same time, however, convincing you, that in your hearts you have not even a faint remembrance of God’s worship. Yet not even so were you dissuaded from idolatry: for in the times of Elijah, when [God] recounted the number of those who had not bowed the knee to Baal, He said the number was seven thousand; and in Isaiah He rebukes you for having sacrificed your children to idols. But we, because we refuse to sacrifice to those to whom we were of old accustomed to sacrifice, undergo extreme penalties, and rejoice in death,—believing that God will raise us up by His Christ, and will make us incorruptible, and undisturbed, and immortal; and we know that the ordinances imposed by reason of the hardness of your people’s hearts, contribute nothing to the performance of righteousness and of piety.”"],"source_library_url":"/library/b59a08ba489d38de9bb8/#ws-library-full-note:b59a08ba489d38de9bb8:cite_note-143","source_url":"https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ante-Nicene_Fathers/Volume_I/Dialogue_with_Trypho#cite_note-143","translator":"Marcus Dods (historical edition translation credit; individual allocation qualified), George Reith (historical edition translation credit; individual allocation qualified), Alexander Roberts (Edinburgh series editor), James Donaldson (Edinburgh series editor), Arthur Cleveland Coxe (American revision with prefaces and notes)","verification":{"proof_file":"raw/review/source-library-note-batch-0061/proof-records.jsonl","proof_file_sha256":"7c4407a5986a306f1eaff33bf3f1bf135fc2e65f72270d1b3381ed0616bfbce3","proof_record_id":"ws-library-full-note:b59a08ba489d38de9bb8:cite_note-143"},"verified":true,"work":"Dialogue with Trypho","work_id":"ws-anf1-remaining-1885-b59a08ba489d38de9bb8"}
