G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 42,1
τὸ γὰρ ἡδὺ τούτων πρόσκαιρον, τὸ δὲ ὀδυνηρὸν διηνεκές· τῶν δὲ Χριστιανῶν τὸ μὲν ἐπίπονον πρόσκαιρον, τὸ δὲ ἡδὺ καὶ χρήσιμον ἀθάνατον.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 454d1-455a1
Harum enim rerum suavitas fluxa et (455a,1) temporaria est, acerbitas autem sempiterna: Christianorum contra labor quidem temporarius est, voluptas autem et utilitas immortalis.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
For the pleasures of such life are temporary, but its pains eternal; while the Christians’ labours are temporary, but their pleasure and gain immortal.
Keyser & Unger p. 10,1
En þessa heims farsælder ero skammar oc munu skiptazt i kvaler vendelegar oc þinslir annars heims. þvi at sœtleikr þessarra luta er stundlegr en beiskleikr eilifr. en stundlegt er starf krislinna manna oc vdaublegr fagnaðr þeirra oc farsælld.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 17,1
Men denne Verdens Lykke er kort og vil forvandles til uendelige Kvaler og Pinsler i den anden Verden; thi de nærværende Tings Södhed er timelig og deres Bitterhed evig, men timelige ere de Christnes Gjenvordigheder og udödelig deres Glæde og Lyksalighed.
Ed. Gimaret 1972 101,1
