Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:144

καὶ εἰ μὲν αὐτοὶ μόνοι ταῦτα ἔπρασσον, ἀνεκτὸν ἦν· νῦν δὲ ἐπιμένουσιν κακοδιδασκαλοῦντες τὰς ἀναιτίους ψυχάς, οὐκ εἰδότες, ὅτι δισσὴν ἕξουσιν τὴν κρίσιν, αὐτοί τε καὶ οἱ ἀκούοντες αὐτῶν.

English · Claude translation

And if they did these things by themselves alone, it would be bearable; but as it is, they persist in teaching evil to innocent souls, not knowing that they will receive a double judgment, both they and those who listen to them.
