Translation

3 For this reason and concerning all things, I praise you, I bless you, I glorify you [1] through the eternal and heavenly high priest, Jesus Christ, your beloved son, [2] through whom be glory to you, with him and the Holy Spirit, both now and for the ages to come. Amen.”

[1] σε αἰνῶ, σὲ εὐλογῶ, σὲ δοξάζω is a sequence used today in the liturgy, “We praise thee, we bless the, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty….” (Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, 324).

[2] See note on §14.1 regarding the use of παιδός.
