for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

Διοτι τοτε θελει εισθαι θλιψις μεγαλη, οποια δεν εγεινεν απ' αρχης κοσμου εως του νυν, ουδε θελει γεινει.

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
