## Greek text

τοῦτο ὁ ποιήσας ἑαυτῷ μέγα κλέος ἐν Χριστῷ περιποιήσεται, καὶ πᾶς τόπος δέξεται αὐτόν, τοῦ γὰρ κυρίου ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.

## English translation (Claude)

Whoever does this will win for himself great glory in Christ, and every place will receive him; for “the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.”
