Παραχρῆμα Immediately δέ then ἐπάταξεν struck αὐτόν him ἄγγελος an angel Κυρίου of [the] Lord, ἀνθ ̓ in return ὧν for that οὐ not ἔδωκεν he gave τήν the δόξαν glory τῷ - Θεῷ, to God; καί and γενόμενος having been σκωληκόβρωτος eaten by worms, ἐξέψυξεν. he breathed his last.

Σαῦλος Saul δέ, then, ὁ - καί also [called] Παῦλος, Paul, πλησθείς having been filled Πνεύματος [the] Spirit Ἁγίου Holy, ἀτενίσας having looked intently εἰς upon αὐτόν him, εἶπεν· said, Ὦ O πλήρης full παντός of all δόλου deceit καί and πάσης all ῥᾳδιουργίας, craft, υἱέ son διαβόλου, of [the] devil, ἐχθρέ enemy πάσης of all δικαιοσύνης, righteousness, οὐ not παύσῃ will you cease διαστρέφων perverting τάς the ὁδούς ways τοῦ the Κυρίου of Lord τάς - εὐθείας; straight? καί And νῦν now ἰδού behold, χείρ [the] hand Κυρίου of the Lord ἐπί [is] upon σέ you, καί and ἔσῃ you will be τυφλός blind, μή not βλέπων seeing τόν the ἥλιον sun ἄχρι during καιροῦ. a season. παραχρῆμα Immediately δέ then ἔπεσεν fell ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν him ἀχλύς mist καί and σκότος darkness, καί and περιάγων going about ἐζήτει he was seeking χειραγωγούς. someone to lead [him] by the hand.
