1 Πρῶτον
πάντων
πίστευσον,
ὅτι
εἷς
ἐστὶν
ὁ
θεός,
ὁ
τὰ
πάντα
κτίσας
καὶ
καταρτίσας
καὶ
ποιήσας
ἐκ
τοῦ
μὴ
ὄντος
εἰς
τὸ
εἶναι
τὰ
πάντα
καὶ
πάντα
χωρῶν,
μόνος
δὲ
ἀχώρητος
ὤν.

"First of all, believe that God is One, even He who created all things and set them in order, and brought all things from non-existence into being, Who comprehends all things, being alone incomprehensible.

2 πίστευσον
οὖν
αὐτῷ
καὶ
φοβήθητι
αὐτόν,
φοβηθεὶς
δὲ
ἐγκράτευσαι.
ταῦτα
φύλασσε,
καὶ
ἀποβαλεῖς
πᾶσαν
πονηρίαν
ἀπὸ
σεαυτοῦ
καὶ
ἐνδύσῃ
πᾶσαν
ἀρετὴν
δικαιοσύνης
καὶ
ζήσῃ
τῷ
θεῷ,
ἐὰν
φυλάξῃς
τὴν
ἐντολὴν
ταύτην.

Believe Him therefore, and fear Him, and in this fear be continent. Keep these things, and you shall cast off all wickedness from yourself, and shall clothe yourself with every excellence of righteousness, and shall live unto God, if you keep this commandment."
