Greek text · Dindorf 4:468

ἀλλʼ ὅ γε κηδεμὼν αὐτῆς λόγος, ὁ θεοφεγγὴς καὶ σωτήριος, τὴν κατʼ ἀξίαν δίκην τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων ὑποσχοῦσαν αὖθις ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς ἀνελάμβανε, πατρὸς παναγάθου φιλανθρωπίᾳ πειθόμενος.

English · Claude translation

But the Word who cared for her, the divinely radiant and saving Word, after she had paid the just penalty for her sins, took her up again anew, obeying the love for mankind of the all-good Father.
