Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:352

ὁ κύριος ἀπροσωπολήμπτως κρινεῖ τὸν κόσμον. ἕκαστος καθὼς ἐποίησεν κομιεῖται. ἐὰν ᾖ ἀγαθός, ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ προηγήσεται αὐτοῦ· ἐὰν ᾖ πονηρός, ὁ μισθὸς τῆς πονηρίας ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ·

English · Claude translation

The Lord will judge the world without partiality. Each will receive according to what he has done. If he is good, his righteousness will go before him; if he is wicked, the wages of wickedness will be before him.
