Book of Common Prayer

5 Now de concerning peri the ho times chronos and kai the ho seasons kairos, brothers adelphos, you have echō no ou need chreia for anything to be written graphō to you hymeis, ² for gar you oida yourselves autos know oida full well akribōs that hoti the day hēmera of the Lord kyrios will come erchomai like hōs a thief kleptēs by en night nyx. ³ When hotan they are saying legō, “ Peace eirēnē and kai security asphaleia,” it is then tote that sudden aiphnidios destruction olethros will come ephistēmi upon them autos, like hōsper · ho labor pains ōdin upon ho a woman with child en, and kai they will not ou mē escape ekpheugō. ⁴ But de you hymeis, brothers adelphos, are eimi not ou in en darkness skotos, for that hina · ho day hēmera to take katalambanō you hymeis by surprise katalambanō like hōs a thief kleptēs; ⁵ for gar you hymeis are eimi all pas sons hyios of light phōs, · kai sons hyios of the day hēmera. We do not ou belong eimi to night nyx or oude darkness skotos. ⁶ So ara then oun let us not mē fall asleep katheudō as hōs · ho others loipos do; rather alla let us stay awake grēgoreō and kai be sober nēphō. ⁷ For gar those ho who sleep katheudō, sleep katheudō at night nyx, and kai those ho who get drunk methyskō, are drunk methyō at night nyx; ⁸ but de let us hēmeis who belong to eimi the daylight hēmera stay sober nēphō, putting on endyō the breastplate thōrax of faith pistis and kai love agapē, and kai as a helmet perikephalaia the hope elpis of salvation sōtēria. ⁹ For hoti God theos has not ou appointed tithēmi us hēmeis · ho for eis wrath orgē, but alla to eis obtain peripoiēsis salvation sōtēria through dia · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, ¹⁰ who ho died apothnēskō for hyper us hēmeis, so that hina whether eite we are awake grēgoreō or eite asleep katheudō we will come to life zaō together hama with syn him autos. ¹¹ Therefore dio encourage parakaleō one another allēlōn and kai build oikodomeō one heis · ho another heis up, as kathōs indeed kai you are doing poieō.

⁷ “ And de when you are praying proseuchomai, do not mē babble battalogeō on , as hōsper the ho Gentiles ethnikos do, for gar they think dokeō that hoti they will be heard eisakouō for en · ho their autos many words polylogia. ⁸ Do not mē be like homoioō them autos, for gar your hymeis Father patēr knows oida · ho what hos you need chreia before pro · ho you hymeis ask aiteō him autos. ⁹ Pray proseuchomai then oun like houtōs this : ‘ Our hēmeis Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos, may your sy name onoma be revered hagiazō, · ho ¹⁰ may your sy kingdom basileia come erchomai, · ho may your sy will thelēma be done ginomai, · ho on epi earth gē as hōs it is in en heaven ouranos. · kai ¹¹ Give didōmi us hēmeis today sēmeron · ho our hēmeis daily epiousios bread artos, · ho ¹² and kai forgive aphiēmi us hēmeis · ho our hēmeis sins opheilēma, as hōs we hēmeis also kai forgive aphiēmi those ho who sin opheiletēs against us hēmeis. ¹³ And kai do not mē bring eispherō us hēmeis into eis temptation peirasmos, but alla deliver rhyomai us hēmeis from apo the ho evil ponēros one .’

¹⁴ “ For gar if ean you forgive aphiēmi · ho others anthrōpos · ho their autos offenses paraptōma, your hymeis heavenly ouranios Father patēr will also kai forgive aphiēmi you hymeis; · ho · ho ¹⁵ but de if ean you do not mē forgive aphiēmi · ho others anthrōpos their offenses, neither oude will · ho your hymeis Father patēr forgive aphiēmi · ho your hymeis offenses paraptōma.
