Christus ómnia nobis divínæ virtútis suæ
By his divine power, Christ has given us all the things that we need
ad vitam et pietátem donávit per cognitiónem ejus
for life and for true devotion, bringing us to know God himself,
qui vocávit nos própria glória et virtúte
who has called us by his own glory and virtue.
per quæ pretiósa et máxima nobis promíssa donáta sunt,
In making these gifts, he has given us the guarantee of something very great and wonderful to come:
ut per hæc efficiámini divínæ consórtes natúræ,
through them, you will be able to share the divine nature
fugiéntes eam quæ in mundo est in concupiscéntia, corruptiónem.
and to escape corruption in a world that is sunk in vice.
