The Prepared Kingdom

Treasures of good things have been opened, and the kingdom of the heavens has been prepared from ages past. The good things that await man are such as eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, nor have they ascended upon the heart of man. These things and such things are confirmed by the Lord's words, as the one in Him stands with Him.

Greek

θησαυροὶ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀνεῴχθησαν, ἡ τῶν οὐρανῶν βασιλεία πρὸ αἰώνων ἡτοίμασται· ἃ ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ οἶδεν, καὶ οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσε, καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἀνέβη, ἃ ἀγαθὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον περιμένουσι. Ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα τοῦ ∆εσπότου λέγοντος, ἀνίστανται σὺν αὐτῷ ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ
