Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:144–146

ἐὰν οὖν ποιήσωμεν τὴν δικαιοσύνην ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰσήξομεν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ληψόμεθα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἅς οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσεν οὐδὲ ὀφθαλμὸς εἶδεν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου ἀνέβη.

English · Claude translation

If, then, we do righteousness before God, we shall enter his kingdom and receive the promises, “which ear has not heard, nor eye seen, nor has it entered into the heart of man.”
