Greek text · Archambault 2:70

Ἀνεπαύσατο οὖν, τουτέστιν ἐπαύσατο, ἐλθόντος ἐκείνου, μεθʼ ὃν, τῆς οἰκονομίας ταύτης τῆς ἐν ἀνθρώποις αὐτοῦ γενομένης χρόνοις, παύσασθαι ἔδει αὐτὰ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ ἀνάπαυσιν λαβόντα πάλιν, ὡς ἐπεπροφήτευτο, γενήσεσθαι δόματα, ἃ ἀπὸ τῆς χάριτος τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ πνεύματος ἐκείνου τοῖς ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πιστεύουσι δίδωσιν, ὡς ἄξιον ἕκαστον ἐπίσταται.

English · Claude translation

“They rested, then, that is, they ceased, when he came, after whom, since this dispensation of his took place in the times when he was among men, they had to cease from you; and resting in him, they were again, as had been prophesied, to become gifts, which from the grace of the power of that Spirit he gives to those who believe in him, as he knows each to be worthy.
