John 16:21

η γυνη οταν τικτη λυπην εχει οτι ηλθεν η ωρα αυτης οταν δε γεννηση το παιδιον ουκ ετι μνημονευει της θλιψεως δια την χαραν οτι εγεννηθη ανθρωπος εις τον κοσμον
ē gynē otan tiktē lypēn echei oti ēlthen ē ōra aytēs otan de gennēsē to paidion oyk eti mnēmoneyei tēs thlipseōs dia tēn charan oti egennēthē anthrōpos eis ton kosmon
King James Version (KJV)

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Modern English

A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
