I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is.

In my opinion then, because of the present trouble, it is good for a man to keep as he is.

Τουτο λοιπον νομιζω οτι ειναι καλον δια την παρουσαν αναγκην, οτι καλον ειναι εις τον ανθρωπον να ηναι ουτως.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
