Ephesians 5:25–33
§ 231
Ephesians 5:25–33 § 231
Brethren, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for it, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word … that He might present it to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the Church. For we are members of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the Church… Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his own wife even as himself …
Luke 8.22-25
§ 37
Luke 8.22-25 § 37
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς λίμνης· καὶ ἀνήχθησαν.
[Заⷱ҇ 37] И҆ бы́сть во є҆ди́нъ ѿ дні́й, то́й влѣ́зе въ кора́бль и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: пре́йдемъ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ є҆́зера. И҆ поидо́ша.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
πλεόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀφύπνωσε. καὶ κατέβη λαῖλαψ ἀνέμου εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ συνεπληροῦντο καὶ ἐκινδύνευον.
И҆дꙋ́щымъ же и҆̀мъ, ᲂу҆́спе. И҆ сни́де бꙋ́рѧ вѣ́тренаѧ въ є҆́зеро, и҆ скончава́хꙋсѧ и҆ въ бѣдѣ̀ бѣ́хꙋ.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
προσελθόντες δὲ διήγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· ἐπιστάτα ἐπιστάτα, ἀπολλύμεθα. ὁ δὲ ἐγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ τῷ κλύδωνι τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη.
И҆ пристꙋ́пльше воздвиго́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: наста́вниче, наста́вниче, погиба́емъ. Ѻ҆́нъ же воста́въ запретѝ вѣ́трꙋ и҆ волне́нїю водно́мꙋ: и҆ ᲂу҆лего́ста, и҆ бы́сть тишина̀.
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν; φοβηθέντες δὲ ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους· τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ τοῖς ἀνέμοις ἐπιτάσσει καὶ τῷ ὕδατι, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть вѣ́ра ва́ша; Оу҆боѧ́вшесѧ же чꙋди́шасѧ, глаго́люще дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ: кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо се́й є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ вѣ́трѡмъ повелѣва́етъ и҆ водѣ̀, и҆ послꙋ́шаютъ є҆гѡ̀;
