εἶπεν γὰρ ὁ κύριος· Ἔρχομαι συναγαγεῖν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, φυλὰς καὶ γλώσσας· τοῦτο δὲ λέγει τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς ἐπιφανείας αὐτοῦ, ὅτε ἐλθὼν λυτρώσεται ἡμᾶς, ἕκαστον κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.

English · Claude translation

For the Lord said, “I am coming to gather all the nations, tribes, and tongues.” By this he means the day of his appearing, when he will come and redeem us, each according to his works.
