Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:152

ἐμμείνωμεν οὖν ἐφʼ οἷς ἐπιστεύσαμεν δίκαιοι καὶ ὅσιοι, ἵνα μετὰ παρρησίας αἰτῶμεν τὸν θεὸν τὸν λέγοντα· Ἔτι λαλοῦντός σου ἐρῶ· ἰδοὺ πάρειμι.

English · Claude translation

Let us, then, remain righteous and holy in what we have believed, so that we may ask with confidence of God, who says, “While you are still speaking I will say, ‘Behold, here I am.’”
