Close: only holy in Christ may touch the divine altars—Amen
Cyril: So then who is not holy in Christ and if he should not pre-purify, according to whichever manner would be fitting, let him depart far; for not without-penalty will he touch the divine altars.
Palladius: You have spoken most uprightly.
Cyril: To God the glory unto the ages, Amen.
Greek
Οὐκοῦν ὃς μὴ ἅγιος ἐν Χριστῷ καὶ εἰ μὴ προαγνίζοιτο, καθ' ὃν ἂν πρέπει τρόπον, ἀποχωρείτω μακράν· νηποινὶ γὰρ οὐχὶ τῶν θείων ἅψεται θυσιαστηρίων.
