[1] Περὶ δὲ τῆς εὐχαριστίας, οὕτως εὐχαριστήσατε:

[2] πρῶτον περὶ τοῦ ποτηρίου: ¹ Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, πάτερ ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁγίας ἀμπέλου Δαυεὶδ τοῦ παιδός σου, ἦς ἐγνώρισας ἡμῖν διὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ παιδός σου: σοὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

[3] περὶ δὲ τοῦ κλάσματος: Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, πάτερ ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ τῆς ζωῆς καὶ γνώσεως, ἦς ἐγνώρισας ἡμῖν διὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ παιδός σου. σοὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

[4] ὥσπερ ἦν τοῦτο τὸ ² κλάσμα διεσκορπισμένον ἐπάνω τῶν ὀρέων καὶ συναχθὲν ἐγένετο ἕν, οὕτω συναχθήτω σου ἡ ἐκκλησία ἀπὸ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς εἰς τὴν σὴν βασιλείαν. ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα καὶ ἡ δύναμις διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

[5] μηδεὶς δὲ φαγέτω μηδὲ πιέτω ἀπὸ τῆς εὐχαριστίας ὑμῶν, ἀλλ̓ οἱ βαπτισθέντες εἰς ὄνομα κυρίου: καὶ γὰρ ³ περὶ τούτου εἴρηκεν ὁ κύριος: Μὴ δῶτε τὸ ἄγιον τοῖς κυσί.

[1] And concerning the Eucharist, hold¹ Eucharist² thus:

[2] First concerning the Cup, We give thanks³ to thee, our Father, for the Holy Vine of David thy child, which, thou didst make known to us through Jesus thy child; to thee be glory for ever.

[3] And concerning the broken Bread: We give thee thanks,⁴ our Father, for the life and knowledge which thou didst make known to us through Jesus thy child. To thee be glory for ever.

[4] As this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains, but was brought together and became one, so let thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into thy kingdom, for thine is the glory and the power through Jesus Christ for ever.

[5] But let none eat or drink of your Eucharist except those who have been baptised in the Lord’s Name. For concerning this also did the Lord say, Give not that which is holy to the dogs.
