Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:56

Πάντων οὖν βλεπομένων καὶ ἀκουομένων, φοβηθῶμεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπολίπωμεν φαύλων ἔργων μιαρὰς ἐπιθυμίας, ἵνα τῷ ἐλέει αὐτοῦ σκεπασθῶμεν ἀπὸ τῶν μελλόντων κριμάτων.

English · Claude translation

Since, then, all things are seen and heard, let us fear him and abandon the foul desires of evil deeds, so that by his mercy we may be sheltered from the judgments to come.
