Question
can you translate "The only enemy is within"

Answer
Hello,

As  you did not specify whether you are looking for a Latin or ancient Greek translation, I’m giving you them both:

-“Intus est inimicus” (Latin for "The only enemy is within”)

-“Ἔνδον ἐστὶν ὁ ἐχθρός”( Ancient Greek  for "The only enemy is within “) that is : “Éndon estìn ho echthrós” (in Latin alphabet we use still today)

Best regards,
Maria

Note that:

-The only enemy = INIMICUS (Latin nominative masculine, 2nd.declension) or  'ho echthrós/ ὁ ἐχθρός' (Greek noun, 2nd.declension)

-is  = EST (from Latin SUM, I am)  / Greek 'estìn / ἐστὶν'  (from the Greek verb εἰμί/ eimì)

-within = INTUS (Latin adverb) / Greek 'Éndon / Ἔνδον'
