¹⁷ And kai when hote I saw him autos, I fell piptō at pros · ho his autos feet pous as though hōs dead nekros. And kai he laid tithēmi · ho his autos right hand dexios on epi me egō, saying legō, “ Do not mē fear phobeomai!

2 “ To the ho angel angelos of the ho church ekklēsia in en Ephesus Ephesos write graphō: The ho one who holds krateō the ho seven hepta stars astēr in en · ho his autos right hand dexios, who ho walks peripateō among en mesos the ho seven hepta golden chrysous lampstands lychnia, · ho has legō this hode to say legō: ² I know oida · ho your sy works ergon, · kai your ho toil kopos and kai · ho your sy patient hypomonē endurance , and kai that hoti you cannot ou put up with bastazō those who are evil kakos, but kai have tested peirazō those ho who call legō themselves heautou apostles apostolos ( but kai are eimi not ou) and kai found heuriskō them autos to be false pseudēs. ³ I also kai know that you have echō demonstrated your patience hypomonē and kai borne hardship bastazō for dia · ho my egō name’ s onoma sake, and kai have not ou grown weary kopiaō. ⁴ But alla I do have echō this against kata you sy, that hoti you have left aphiēmi · ho your sy first prōtos love agapē! · ho ⁵ Therefore oun remember mnēmoneuō from where pothen you have fallen piptō; · kai repent metanoeō and kai do poieō the ho works ergon you did at first prōtos.

23 Then tote · ho Jesus Iēsous spoke laleō to the ho crowds ochlos and kai to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, ² saying legō, “ The ho scribes grammateus and kai the ho Pharisees Pharisaios now sit kathizō on epi the ho chair kathedra of Moses Mōysēs. ³ Therefore oun put into practice poieō and kai continue to do tēreō whatever hosos ean they tell legō you hymeis; but de do poieō not mē imitate poieō what kata they autos · ho do ergon, for gar they teach legō but kai do not ou practice poieō. ⁴ For de they tie desmeuō up heavy barys burdens phortion, · kai hard to bear dysbastaktos, and kai lay epitithēmi them on epi · ho people’ s anthrōpos shoulders ōmos, · ho but de they thelō themselves autos are thelō not ou willing thelō to move kineō them autos with ho their autos finger daktylos. ⁵ They do poieō all pas · de · ho their autos deeds ergon to pros · ho be seen theaomai by ho others anthrōpos: they make platynō · ho their autos phylacteries phylaktērion broad and kai their ho tassels kraspedon long megalynō, ⁶ they love phileō · de the ho place prōtoklisia of honor at en · ho banquets deipnon and kai the ho most important seats prōtokathedria in en the ho synagogues synagōgē, ⁷ and kai · ho greetings aspasmos in en the ho marketplaces agora, and kai to be called kaleō ‘ Rabbi rhabbi’ by hypo · ho others anthrōpos. ⁸ But de you hymeis are not mē to be called kaleō ‘ Rabbi rhabbi,’ for gar you hymeis have eimi but one heis · ho teacher didaskalos, and de you hymeis are eimi all pas brothers adelphos. ⁹ And kai do not mē call kaleō anyone on epi earth gē your hymeis ‘ father patēr,’ · ho for gar you hymeis have eimi but one heis · ho Father patēr, and he ho is in heaven ouranios. ¹⁰ Nor mēde should you be called kaleō ‘ instructors kathēgētēs,’ because hoti Christ Christos is eimi your hymeis only heis instructor kathēgētēs. · ho ¹¹ The ho · de greatest megas among you hymeis will be eimi your hymeis servant diakonos. ¹² And de whoever hostis will exalt hypsoō himself heautou will be humbled tapeinoō, and kai whoever hostis will humble tapeinoō himself heautou will be exalted hypsoō.
