Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:38

Οἱ δὲ ἀγόμενοι καὶ τιθέμενοι εἰς τὴν οἰκοδομήν, τίνες εἰσίν; Νέοι εἰσὶν ἐν τῇ πίστει καὶ πιστοί. νουθετοῦνται δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸ ἀγαθοποιεῖν, διότι εὑρέθη ἐν αὐτοῖς πονηρία.

English · Claude translation

“And those that are brought and placed in the building, who are they?” “They are young in the faith, and faithful. But they are admonished by the angels to do good, because some wickedness was found in them.”
