Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:76

Προδήλων οὖν ἡμῖν ὄντων τούτων, καὶ ἐγκεκυφότες εἰς τὰ βάθη τῆς θείας γνώσεως, πάντα τάξει ποιεῖν ὀφείλομεν, ὅσα ὁ δεσπότης ἐπιτελεῖν ἐκέλευσεν κατὰ καιροὺς τεταγμένους.

English · Claude translation

Since these things are plain to us, and since we have looked into the depths of divine knowledge, we ought to do in order all the things that the Master has commanded us to perform at the appointed times.
