Book of Common Prayer

¹⁸ For gar you have not ou come to proserchomai something that can be touched psēlaphaō, · kai to a blazing kaiō fire pyr, and kai darkness gnophos, and kai gloom zophos, and kai a whirlwind thuella; ¹⁹ · kai to ēchos the blast ēchos of a trumpet salpinx and kai a sound phōnē of words rhēma which hos made those ho who heard akouō it beg paraiteomai that no mē further message logos be given prostithēmi to them autos, ²⁰ for gar they could not ou endure pherō the ho order that was given diastellō: “ If even kan a wild animal thērion touches thinganō the ho mountain oros, it shall be stoned lithoboleō.” ²¹ And kai so houtōs awesome phoberos was eimi the ho spectacle phantazō that Moses Mōysēs said legō, “ I am eimi terrified ekphobos and kai trembling entromos.”

²² On the contrary alla, you have come to proserchomai Mount oros Zion Siōn, even kai to the city polis of the living zaō God theos, the heavenly epouranios Jerusalem Ierousalēm, and kai to innumerable myrias angels angelos, to a joyful assembly panēgyris, ²³ and kai to the assembly ekklēsia of the firstborn prōtotokos whose names are inscribed apographō in en heaven ouranos, and kai to God theos, the judge kritēs of all pas, and kai to the spirits pneuma of the righteous dikaios who have been made perfect teleioō, ²⁴ and kai to Jesus Iēsous, mediator mesitēs of a new neos covenant diathēkē, and kai to sprinkled rhantismos blood haima speaking laleō more effectively kreittōn than para the ho blood of Abel Habel.

²⁵ Take care blepō not mē to disregard paraiteomai the ho one who is speaking laleō! For gar if ei those ekeinos did not ou escape ekpheugō when they disregarded paraiteomai the ho one who warned chrēmatizō them on epi earth gē, how much polys less mallon will we hēmeis, if we ho reject apostrephō the ho one who warns from apo heaven ouranos. ²⁶ At that time tote his hos · ho voice phōnē shook saleuō the ho earth gē, but de now nyn he has promised epangellomai, “ Yet eti once more hapax will I egō shake seiō not ou only monon the ho earth gē but alla also kai the ho heaven ouranos.” ²⁷ The ho phrase, · de “ Yet eti once more hapax,” declares dēloō the ho removal metathesis of ho what can be shaken saleuō— that is hōs, created things poieō— so that hina what ho cannot mē be shaken saleuō may remain menō.

²⁸ Therefore dio since we are receiving paralambanō a kingdom basileia that cannot be shaken asaleutos, let us be echō thankful charis, and in dia this way hos worship latreuō God theos in an acceptable manner euarestōs, · ho with meta reverence eulabeia and kai awe deos, ²⁹ for gar indeed kai · ho our hēmeis God theos is a consuming katanaliskō fire pyr.

¹⁷ The ho seventy-two hebdomēkonta returned hypostrephō · de with meta joy chara, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, even kai the ho demons daimonion are subject hypotassō to us hēmeis in en · ho your sy name onoma!” ¹⁸ He said legō · de to them autos, “ I saw theōreō · ho Satan Satanas as he fell piptō, like hōs a bolt astrapē of lightening from ek the ho sky ouranos. ¹⁹ I have given didōmi you hymeis · ho authority exousia to ho tread pateō on epanō serpents ophis and kai scorpions skorpios, and kai authority over epi all pas the ho power dynamis of the ho enemy echthros; · kai nothing oudeis may hurt adikeō you hymeis at all ou. ²⁰ However plēn, do chairō not mē rejoice chairō in en this houtos, that hoti the ho spirits pneuma are subject hypotassō to you hymeis, but de rejoice chairō that hoti · ho your hymeis names onoma have been recorded engraphō in en · ho heaven ouranos.”

²¹ At en this autos · ho time hōra Jesus was filled agalliaō with joy by en the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, · ho and kai said legō, “ I thank exomologeomai you sy, Father patēr, Lord kyrios of ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth gē, that hoti you have hidden apokryptō these houtos things from apo the wise sophos and kai understanding synetos and kai revealed apokalyptō them autos to little nēpios children ; yes nai, · ho Father patēr, for hoti such houtōs was ginomai well-pleasing eudokia in your sy sight emprosthen. ²² All pas things have been handed over paradidōmi to me egō by hypo · ho my egō Father patēr, and kai no oudeis one knows ginōskō who tis the ho Son hyios is eimi except ei mē the ho Father patēr, or kai who tis the ho Father patēr is eimi except ei mē the ho Son hyios and kai anyone to whom hos the ho Son hyios decides boulomai to reveal apokalyptō him.” ²³ · kai Having turned strephō to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, he said legō to them privately kata idios, “ Fortunate makarios are the ho eyes ophthalmos that ho see blepō what hos you see blepō! ²⁴ For gar I tell legō you hymeis that hoti many polys prophets prophētēs and kai kings basileus desired thelō to see what hos you hymeis see blepō, but kai did not ou see it, and kai to hear akouō what hos you hear akouō, but kai did not ou hear akouō it.”
