[229]
τῆς διηνεκοῦς εὐφροσύνης. πάντες μὲν γάρ, καθάπερ
αὐτὸς ὁρᾷς, ἀποθνήσκομεν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν
1 ἄνθρωπος ὃς ζήσεται καὶ οὐκ ὄψεται θάνατον:
μέλλομεν δὲ πάντες ἀνίστασθαι, ἡνίκα ἐλεύσεται
Κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐν
2 δόξῃ ἀνεκλαλήτῳ καὶ δυνάμει φοβερᾷ, ὁ μόνος
3 Βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων καὶ Κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων,
4 ᾧ πᾶν γόνυ κάμψει ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων
καὶ καταχθονίων: καὶ τοσαύτην ἐμποιήσει
5 τότε τὴν ἔκστασιν, ὡς καὶ αὐτὰς ἐκπλαγῆναι τὰς
6 οὐρανίους δυνάμεις: καὶ παραστήσονται αὐτῷ
7 τρόμῳ χίλιαι χιλιάδες καὶ μύριαι μυριάδες ἀγγέλων
καὶ ἀρχαγγέλων, καὶ πάντα ἔσται φόβου
8 καὶ τρόμου μεστά. σαλπιεῖ γὰρ εἷς τῶν ἀρχαγγέλων
9 ἐν σάλπιγγι Θεοῦ, καὶ εὐθὺς ὁ οὐρανὸς μὲν
εἰλιγήσεται ὡς βιβλίον, ἡ γῆ δὲ ἀναρρηγνυμένη
ἀναπέμψει τὰ τεθνεῶτα σώματα τῶν πώποτε
10 γενομένων ἀνθρώπων, ἐξ οὗ γέγονεν ὁ πρῶτος
ἄνθρωπος Ἀδὰμ μέχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης. καὶ
11 τότε πάντες οἱ ἀπ̓ αἰῶνος θανόντες ἐν ῥιπῇ ὀφθαλμοῦ
ζῶντες παραστήσονται τῷ βήματι τοῦ ἀθανάτου
