2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5
§ 276
2 Thessalonians 2:13–3:5 § 276
Brethren, we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our Gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you. And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting for Christ.
Mark 9.10-16
§ 39
Mark 9.10-16 § 39
And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
καὶ τὸν λόγον ἐκράτησαν, πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς συζητοῦντες τί ἐστι τὸ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.
[Заⷱ҇ 39] И҆ сло́во ᲂу҆держа́ша въ себѣ̀, стѧза́ющесѧ, что̀ є҆́сть, є҆́же и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες, ὅτι λέγουσιν οἱ γραμματεῖς ὅτι Ἠλίαν δεῖ ἐλθεῖν πρῶτον.
И҆ вопроша́хꙋ є҆го̀ глаго́люще: ка́кѡ глаго́лютъ кни́жницы, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆лїѝ подоба́етъ прїитѝ пре́жде;
And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἠλίας μὲν ἐλθὼν πρῶτον ἀποκαθιστᾷ πάντα· καὶ πῶς γέγραπται ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἵνα πολλὰ πάθῃ καὶ ἐξουδενωθῇ;
Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆лїа̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ прише́дъ пре́жде, ᲂу҆стро́итъ всѧ̑: и҆ ка́кѡ є҆́сть пи́сано ѡ҆ сн҃ѣ чл҃вѣ́честѣмъ, да мно́гѡ постра́ждетъ и҆ ᲂу҆ничиже́нъ бꙋ́детъ:
But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
ἀλλὰ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι καὶ Ἠλίας ἐλήλυθε, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ ὅσα ἠθέλησαν, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.
но гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ и҆лїа̀ прїи́де, и҆ сотвори́ша є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ли̑ка хотѣ́ша, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано ѡ҆ не́мъ.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
Καὶ ἐλθὼν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εἶδεν ὄχλον πολὺν περὶ αὐτούς, καὶ γραμματεῖς συζητοῦντας αὐτοῖς.
И҆ прише́дъ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, ви́дѣ наро́дъ мно́гъ ѡ҆ ни́хъ {ѡ҆́крестъ и҆́хъ} и҆ кни́жники стѧза́ющѧсѧ съ ни́ми.
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
καὶ εὐθέως πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεθαμβήθησαν, καὶ προστρέχοντες ἠσπάζοντο αὐτόν.
И҆ а҆́бїе ве́сь наро́дъ ви́дѣвъ є҆го̀ ᲂу҆жасе́сѧ, и҆ прири́щꙋще цѣлова́хꙋ є҆го̀.
And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
καὶ ἐπηρώτησε τοὺς γραμματεῖς· τί συζητεῖτε πρὸς ἑαυτούς;
И҆ вопросѝ кни́жники: что̀ стѧза́етесѧ къ себѣ̀ {съ ни́ми};
