Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:46

Ὁρᾶτε, ἀγαπητοί, μὴ αἱ εὐεργεσίαι αὐτοῦ αἱ πολλαὶ γένωνται εἰς κρίμα ἡμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ἀξίως αὐτοῦ πολιτευόμενοι τὰ καλὰ καὶ εὐάρεστα ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ποιῶμεν μεθʼ ὁμονοίας.

English · Claude translation

Take care, beloved, that his many benefits do not become a judgment on us, if we do not live worthily of him and do what is good and pleasing in his sight with concord.
