Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:136

ποιοῦντες γὰρ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Χριστοῦ εὑρήσομεν ἀνάπαυσιν· εἰ δὲ μήγε, οὐδὲν ἡμᾶς ῥύσεται ἐκ τῆς αἰωνίου κολάσεως, ἐὰν παρακούσωμεν τῶν ἐντολῶν αὐτοῦ.

For if we do the will of Christ we shall find rest; but if not, nothing will rescue us from eternal punishment, if we disobey his commandments.
