Greek text · Dindorf 4:448

ἡμέρα δὲ λοιπὸν ἤδη φαιδρὰ καὶ διαυγὴς, μηδενὸς νέφους αὐτὴν ἐπισκιάζοντος, φωτὸς οὐρανίου βολαῖς ἀνὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἅπασαν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τοῦ Χριστοῦ κατηύγαζεν, οὐδέ τις ἦν καὶ τοῖς ἔξωθεν τοῦ καθʼ ἡμᾶς θιάσου φθόνος, συναπολαύειν εἰ μὴ τῶν ἴσʼ ὢν, ἀπορροῆς δʼ οὖν ὅμως καὶ μετουσίας τῶν θεόθεν ἡμῖν πρυτανευθέντων.

English · Claude translation

From now on a bright and clear day, overshadowed by no cloud, shone with rays of heavenly light on the churches of Christ throughout the whole world; nor was there any grudging even toward those outside our fellowship sharing, if not equally, still in some overflow and participation of the good things granted us by God.
