Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:160

πράξωμεν οὖν τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ἵνα εἰς τέλος σωθῶμεν. μακάριοι οἱ τούτοις ὑπακούοντες τοῖς προστάγμασιν· κἂν ὀλίγον χρόνον κακοπαθήσωσιν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ, τὸν ἀθάνατον τῆς ἀναστάσεως καρπὸν τρυγήσουσιν.

English · Claude translation

Let us, then, do righteousness, so that we may be saved to the end. Blessed are those who obey these ordinances; even if they suffer evil for a short time in this world, they will gather the immortal fruit of the resurrection.
