Burning the remainder
For the one who has gone over the divine bounds — the bounds that were there through the disobedience in Adam — this one is Lord, who blunted the sting of death and took down its power, having given a leaping-over through good news to the spirits kept in Hades, and otherwise also having provided an upward road of travel into heaven through his own going up, doors and gates being lifted for his entrance: "Lift up gates, you rulers of yours, and be lifted, everlasting gates, and the king of glory will come in." (1 Corinthians 15:55–56) (1 Peter 3:19) (Psalm 24:7) (Romans 5:12–19) (Hebrews 2:14) (Ephesians 4:8–10)
Greek
Ὁ γὰρ ὑπερβὰς τοὺς ὅρους τοὺς θείους διὰ τὴν ἐν Ἀδὰμ παρακοὴν οὗτός ἐστιν κ(ύριο)ς ὁ τοῦ|| θανάτου τὸ κέντρον ἀμβλύνας καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καθαιρήσας, δοὺς ὑπερπήδησιν δι' εὐαγγελισμοῦ τοῖς ἐν ᾅδου φρουρηθεῖσιν πν(εύμα)σιν, ἄλλως δὲ καὶ ἄνοδον πορείας εἰς οὐ(ρα)νὸν παρασχόμενος διὰ τῆς αὐτοῦ ἀνόδου, θυρῶν καὶ πυλῶν ἐπαιρομένων διὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ εἴσοδον· "Ἄρατε πύλας οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπάρθητε πύλαι αἰώνιοι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης".
