The Holy Scripture
Chapter IX
And let not any one of you say that this flesh is not judged neither riseth again.
Καὶ μὴ λεγέτω τις ὑμῶν, ὅτι αὕτη ἡ σὰρξ οὐ κρίνεται οὐδὲ ἀνίσταται.
Understand ye. In what were ye saved? In what did ye recover your sight? if ye were not in this flesh.
γνῶτε: ἐν τίνι ἐσώθητε, ἐν τίνι ἀνεβλέψατε, εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ ταύτῃ ὄντες;
We ought therefore to guard the flesh as a temple of God:
δεῖ οὖν ἡμᾶς ὡς ναὸν θεοῦ φυλάσσειν τὴν σάρκα:
for in like manner as ye were called in the flesh, ye shall come also in the flesh.
ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ ἐκλήθητε, καὶ ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ ἐλεύσεσθε.
If Christ the Lord who saved us, being first spirit, then became flesh, and so called us, in like manner also shall we in this flesh receive our reward.
εἰ Χριστός, ὁ κύριος ὁ σώσας ἡμᾶς, ὢν μὲν τὸ πρῶτον πνεῦμα, ἐγένετο σὰρξ καὶ οὕτως ἡμᾶς ἐκάλεσεν: οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ σαρκὶ ἀποληψόμεθα τὸν μισθόν.
Let us therefore love one another, that we all may come unto the kingdom of God.
ἀγαπῶμεν οὖν ἀλλήλους, ὅπως ἔλθωμεν πάντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
While we have time to be healed, let us place ourselves in the hands of God the physician, giving Him a recompense.
ὡς ἔχομεν καιρὸν τοῦ ἰαθῆναι, ἐπιδῶμεν ἑαυτοὺς τῷ θεραπεύοντι θεῷ, ἀντιμισθίαν αὐτῷ διδόντες.
What recompense? Repentance from a sincere heart.
ποίαν; τὸ μετανοῆσαι ἐξ εἰλικρινοῦς καρδίας.
For He discerneth all things beforehand and knoweth what is in our heart.
προγνώστης γάρ ἐστιν τῶν πάντων καὶ εἰδὼς ἡμῶν τὰ ἐν καρδίᾳ.
Let us therefore give unto Him eternal praise, not from our lips only, but also from our heart, that He may receive us as sons.
δῶμεν οὖν αὐτῷ αἶνον, μὴ ἀπὸ στόματος μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπὸ καρδίας, ἵνα ἡμᾶς προσδέξηται ὡς υἱούς.
For the Lord also said, These are my brethren, which do the will of My Father.
καὶ γὰρ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος: Ἀδελφοί μου οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός μου.
