53. If thou say ‘I'm a Jew’—no one will be moved. If thou say ‘I'm a Roman’—no one will be disturbed. If thou say ‘I'm a Greek, a barbarian, a slave, a freeman’—no one will be troubled. If thou [say] ‘I'm a Christic’—[everyone] shall heed. May it occur that I have [received from him] in this manner, this which [the worldly] shall not be able to withstand when [they hear] this name!

53. Si dices «Soy judío»—nadie se moverá. Si dices «Soy romano»—nadie se turbará. Si dices «Soy griego, bárbaro, esclavo, libre»—nadie se inquietará. Si [dices] «Soy crístico»—[todos] harán caso. ¡Que ocurre que haya [recibido yo de él] en esta manera, esto que [los mundanos] no podrán resistir al [escuchar] este nombre!

2Sic, read the Greek-Latin hybrid xristianos passim (see logion 101, note 2); regarding xrhstianos (from xrhstos), see Vintage in Th Notes (Añejo en Tom Notas). Correct thruout for ‘Messianic/s’ would of course be xristikos/xristikoi, ‘Christic/s’.

3Gk: verbal noun, incomplete.

4Gk verb: middle incomplete optative.
