Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:94

τίς ἱκανὸς ἐν αὐτῇ εὑρεθῆναι, εἰ μὴ οὓς ἂν καταξιώσῃ ὁ θεός; δεώμεθα οὖν καὶ αἰτώμεθα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ἐν ἀγάπῃ εὑρεθῶμεν δίχα προσκλίσεως ἀνθρωπίνης, ἄμωμοι.

English · Claude translation

Who is worthy to be found in it, except those whom God counts worthy? Let us therefore beg and pray from his mercy that we may be found in love, without human partisanship, blameless.
