We suffer from envy, pride, arrogance, exaltation, despite all the poverty and wantonness - we are healed.

We suffer from many and different attacks of carnality: gluttony, intemperance, gluttony, voluptuousness - we are healed.

We are sick with drowsiness, verbosity, idle talk, judgmentalism - we are healed, O Saint Panteleimon!

Our eyes hurt with sinful views, our ears hurt with listening to idle talk, slander, slander - we are healed.

My hands hurt due to a reluctance to pray and give alms - they are healed.

Our legs hurt from the reluctance to hastily go to the temple of the Lord and the desire to walk around the hills and visit the houses of the world - we are healed.
