We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

I could translate it in modern Greek but not sure how exactly to do it in ancient. Why do you need it in ancient Greek?

This is not the precise phrase as it was said by Plato, but a free translation from English to ancient Greek.

ΔΙΣ ΕΝΟΠΛΟΙΣ ΔΕΙ ΜΕΤΑ ΠΙΣΤΗΝ ΜΑΧΟΜΕΝΟΙ!
Dhis enoplis dhi meta pistin machomeni!

Most likely it is from "The Republic," ("Politia" in Greek.) Alternativelly,it could also be from "Phaedon," ("Fedon" in Greek,) in which Plato spoke about faith.
