Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:368

ἐπεὶ δὲ ἀπεκάλυψε διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ παιδὸς καὶ ἐφανέρωσε τὰ ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἡτοιμασμένα, πάνθʼ ἅμα παρέσχεν ἡμῖν καὶ μετασχεῖν τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰδεῖν καὶ νοῆσαι, ἃ τίς ἂν πώποτε προσεδόκησεν ἡμῶν;

English · Claude translation

but when he revealed it through his beloved Child and made manifest what had been prepared from the beginning, he granted us everything at once: both to share in his benefits and to see and understand them. Which of us would ever have expected these things?
