benefits the living and the departed, but this one harms on both sides, both shaming them and leading them away to immortal punishments. But God, who on account of this blessed one who has gathered us today has deemed us worthy to strip, and wrestle, and conquer, and be crowned, may He also deem all of us together worthy, on that day, when we have completed the present life according to His commandments and laws, to be able to come to the tabernacles of this holy one, and to enjoy the immortal good things; of which may we all attain, by the grace and loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with whom to the Father be glory, together with the Holy Spirit, unto the ages. Amen.

ζῶντας καὶ ἀπελθόντας ὠφελεῖ, αὕτη δὲ ἑκατέρωθεν παραβλάπτει, καταισχύνουσά τε τούτους καὶ εἰς τιμωρίας ἀπάγουσα ἀθανάτους. Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ὁ καὶ τὴν μακαρίαν ταύτην τὴν σήμερον ἡμᾶς συναγαγοῦσαν καὶ ἀποδύσασθαι καὶ παλαῖσαι καὶ νικῆσαι καὶ στεφανωθῆναι καταξιώσας, καταξιώσειε καὶ ἡμᾶς κοινῇ πάντας καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τὸν παρόντα βίον ἐξανύσαντας μετὰ τῶν αὐτοῦ προσταγμάτων καὶ νόμων δυνηθῆναι παρὰ τὰς σκηνὰς τῆς ἁγίας ταύτης ἐλθεῖν, καὶ τῶν ἀθανάτων ἀγαθῶν ἀπολαῦσαι· ὧν γένοιτο πάντας ἡμᾶς ἐπιτυχεῖν, χάριτι καὶ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεθ' οὗ τῷ Πατρὶ δόξα, ἅμα τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν.
