Book of Common Prayer

19 After meta this houtos I heard akouō what sounded like hōs the roar phōnē megas of a great polys throng ochlos in en · ho heaven ouranos, saying legō, “ Hallelujah hallēlouia! · ho Salvation sōtēria and kai · ho glory doxa and kai · ho power dynamis belong to ho our hēmeis God theos, ² because hoti true alēthinos and kai just dikaios are · ho his autos judgments krisis. For hoti he has judged krinō the ho great megas prostitute pornē · ho who hostis corrupted phtheirō the ho earth gē with en · ho her autos immorality porneia, and kai has avenged ekdikeō the ho blood haima of ho his autos servants shed by ek her autos hand cheir.” ³ Then kai again deuteros they cried out legō, “ Hallelujah hallēlouia! · kai The ho smoke kapnos from her autos burning rises anabainō for eis all ho time aiōn ho!” · ho ⁴ And kai the ho twenty-four eikosi elders presbyteros · ho and kai the ho four tessares living creatures zōon fell down piptō and kai worshiped proskyneō · ho God theos who ho was seated kathēmai on epi the ho throne thronos, saying legō, “ Amen amēn! Hallelujah hallēlouia!” ⁵ And kai from apo the ho throne thronos came exerchomai a voice phōnē saying legō, “ Praise aineō · ho our hēmeis God theos, all pas you ho his autos servants and kai you ho who fear phobeomai him autos, · ho small mikros and kai · ho great megas.” ⁶ Then kai I heard akouō what sounded like hōs the voice phōnē of a great polys multitude ochlos— · kai it was like hōs the roar phōnē of many polys waters hydōr, · kai like hōs the sound phōnē of crashing ischuros thunder brontē— crying out legō, “ Hallelujah hallēlouia! For hoti the Lord kyrios · ho our hēmeis God theos the ho Almighty pantokratōr reigns basileuō! ⁷ Let us rejoice chairō and kai be glad agalliaō and kai give didōmi him autos the ho glory doxa, for hoti the ho marriage gamos of the ho Lamb arnion has come erchomai, and kai · ho his autos bride gynē has made herself heautou ready hetoimazō. ⁸ · kai To her autos it has been granted didōmi to hina be clothed periballō in fine linen byssinos, bright lampros and clean katharos”— for gar the ho fine linen byssinos is eimi the ho righteous acts dikaiōma of the ho saints hagios.

⁹ And kai the angel said legō to me egō, “ Write graphō, ‘ Blessed makarios are those ho who are invited kaleō to eis the ho marriage gamos supper deipnon · ho of the ho Lamb arnion!’” He also kai said legō to me egō, “ These houtos are eimi the ho true alēthinos words logos of ho God theos.” ¹⁰ Then kai I fell piptō down at emprosthen · ho his autos feet pous to worship proskyneō him autos, but kai he said legō to me egō, “ Do horaō not mē do that! I am eimi a fellow servant syndoulos with you sy and kai · ho your sy brothers adelphos who ho hold echō to the ho testimony martyria about Jesus Iēsous. Worship proskyneō · ho God theos! For gar the ho testimony martyria about Jesus Iēsous is eimi the ho spirit pneuma of ho prophecy prophēteia.”

²⁵ Great polys crowds ochlos of people were traveling symporeuomai with · de him autos, and kai he turned strephō and said legō to pros them autos, ²⁶ “ If ei anyone tis comes erchomai to pros me egō and kai does not ou hate miseō · ho his own heautou father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr, and kai · ho wife gynē and kai · ho children teknon, and kai · ho brothers adelphos and kai · ho sisters adelphē, and te even eti · kai · ho his own heautou life psychē, he cannot ou be eimi my egō disciple mathētēs. ²⁷ Whoever hostis does not ou carry bastazō · ho his own heautou cross stauros and kai come erchomai after opisō me egō cannot ou dynamai be eimi my egō disciple mathētēs.

²⁸ “ For gar which tis of ek you hymeis, wanting thelō to build oikodomeō a tower pyrgos, does not ouchi first prōton sit kathizō down and calculate psēphizō the ho cost dapanē, whether ei he has echō enough to bring it to eis completion apartismos; ²⁹ otherwise hina mēpote, when he autos has laid tithēmi the foundation themelios and kai is not mē able ischuō to complete ekteleō the tower, all pas who ho see theōreō it will begin archō to ridicule empaizō him autos, ³⁰ saying legō, ‘ This houtos · ho man anthrōpos began archō to build oikodomeō and kai was not ou able ischuō to complete ekteleō.’ ³¹ Or ē what tis king basileus, going poreuō out to encounter symballō another heteros king basileus in eis war polemos, will not ouchi sit kathizō down first prōton and deliberate bouleuō whether ei he is eimi able dynatos with en ten deka thousand chilias troops to oppose hypantaō the ho one coming erchomai against epi him autos with meta twenty eikosi thousand chilias? ³² And de if ei not mē, while eimi he autos is eimi yet eti a great porrō way off , he will send apostellō a delegation presbeia and ask erōtaō for terms ho of pros peace eirēnē. ³³ In the same houtōs way , therefore oun, everyone pas of ek you hymeis who hos does not ou renounce apotassō all pas · ho his heautou possessions hyparchō cannot ou dynamai be eimi my egō disciple mathētēs.

³⁴ “ Salt halas, then oun, is good kalos; · ho but de if ean · kai · ho salt halas has become insipid mōrainō, with en what tis shall it be seasoned artyō? ³⁵ Neither oute for eis soil gē or oute for eis the dung-heap kopria is it eimi of any use euthetos; they throw ballō it autos away exō. The ho one who has echō ears ous to hear akouō, let him hear akouō.”
