Summary: The righteous will receive promises beyond imagining.

## Greek text

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 translation (Claude)

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.”
