Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:94

γέγραπται γάρ· Μακάριοι, ὧν ἀφέθησαν αἱ ἀνομίαι καὶ ὧν ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι· μακάριος ἀνήρ, οὗ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται κύριος ἁμαρτίαν, οὐδέ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ δόλος·

English · Claude translation

For it is written: “Blessed are they whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not reckon, and in whose mouth there is no deceit.”
