Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:58

οἱ οὖν μετανοήσαντες ὁλοτελῶς νέοι ἔσονται καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι, οἱ ἐξ ὅλης καρδίας μετανοήσαντες. ἀπέχεις ὁλοτελῆ τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν· μηκέτι μηδὲν αἰτήσῃς περὶ ἀποκαλύψεως, ἐάν τι δὲ δέῃ, ἀποκαλυφθήσεταί σοι.

English · Claude translation

Those, then, who have repented completely will be young and well founded, those who have repented with their whole heart. You have the complete revelation. Ask nothing more about revelation; but if anything is needed, it will be revealed to you.”
