Considerations Of Judgement

Εἰ μὲν τῆς θείας τυγχάνεις ἀγέλης, ἡ θεία Γραφὴ παιδευέτω σε, μὴ ἄκριτα εἶναι τὰ ἐνταῦθα πραττόμενα, ἀλλ' εἰς ἡμέραν φρικτὴν ἐξετάσεως φυλαττόμενα. Εἰ δὲ τῆς Ἰουδαίων μερίδος, Ἠσαῗας ὁ μεγαλοφρονέστατος διδαξάτω σε, ὅτι ἤξει Κύριος ὡς πὺρ, καὶ ὡς καταιγὶς, τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ, ἀποδοῦναι ἐκδίκησιν ἐν θυμῷ, καὶ ἀποσκορακιμὸν ἐν φλογὶ πυρός. Εἰ δὲ Ἑλληνικῆς συμμορίας ἢ θρησκείας ὑπάρχεις ἐραστὴς, καὶ τῇ προσπαθείᾳ τὴν ἀληθῆ περιφρονεῖς ἐπαγγελίαν, Πλάτων σε καὶ οἱ ἐκείνου Κωκυτοὶ καὶ Πυριφλεγέθοντες καὶ τὰ ῥόθια τῶν πυριπνόων ποταμῶν σωφρονιζέτωσαν κύματα.

If you are one of the Divine flock, let Holy Scripture teach you that the things you do here shall not go unjudged but may come to guard you on the fearful day of judgement. But if you are of the party of the Jews, let the great souled Isaiah teach you that the Lord shall come as a fire, and as a storm shall be His chariots, that He impose punishment in ire, even casting into flames of fire. 1 But if you are of the company of the Pagans and a lover of that piety, and by passionate attachment you scorn the aforementioned promises, let Plato with his Cocytus and Phlegethon, even those rushing waves of fire bearing torrents, 2 make you more prudent.
