2 Timothy
§ 290
2 Timothy § 290
of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, my beloved son: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord… Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the Gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began … But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that day. Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. This you know, that all they which were in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygéllus and Hermógenes. The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesíphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and in how many ways he ministered unto me at Éphesus, you know very well.
Mark 9.33-41
§ 41
Mark 9.33-41 § 41
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
Καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Καπερναούμ· καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς· τί ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς διελογίζεσθε;
[Заⷱ҇ 41] И҆ прїи́де въ капернаꙋ́мъ: и҆ въ домꙋ̀ бы́въ, вопроша́ше и҆̀хъ: что̀ на пꙋтѝ въ себѣ̀ помышлѧ́сте;
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων· πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τίς μείζων.
Ѻ҆ни́ же молча́хꙋ: дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ бо стѧза́шасѧ на пꙋтѝ, кто̀ (є҆́сть) бо́лїй.
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
καὶ καθίσας ἐφώνησε τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι, ἔσται πάντων ἔσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος.
И҆ сѣ́дъ пригласѝ ѻ҆бана́десѧте и҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: а҆́ще кто̀ хо́щетъ ста́рѣй бы́ти, да бꙋ́детъ всѣ́хъ ме́ньшїй и҆ всѣ́мъ слꙋга̀.
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·
И҆ прїи́мь ѻ҆троча̀, поста́ви є҆̀ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ: и҆ ѡ҆б̾е́мь є҆̀, речѐ и҆̀мъ:
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
ὃς ἐὰν ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἐμὲ δέξηται, οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.
и҆́же а҆́ще є҆ди́но таковы́хъ ѻ҆троча́тъ прїи́метъ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, менѐ прїе́млетъ: и҆ и҆́же менѐ прїе́млетъ, не менѐ прїе́млетъ, но посла́вшаго мѧ̀.
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων· διδάσκαλε, εἴδομέν τινα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, ὃς οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐκωλύσαμεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ ἡμῖν.
Ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́ннъ, глаго́лѧ: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, ви́дѣхомъ нѣ́коего и҆́менемъ твои́мъ и҆згонѧ́ща бѣ́сы, и҆́же не хо́дитъ по на́съ: и҆ возбрани́хомъ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не послѣ́дꙋетъ на́мъ.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε· μὴ κωλύετε αὐτόν· οὐδεὶς γάρ ἐστιν ὃς ποιήσει δύναμιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ δυνήσεται ταχὺ κακολογῆσαί με.
І҆и҃съ же речѐ: не брани́те є҆мꙋ̀: никто́же бо є҆́сть, и҆́же сотвори́тъ си́лꙋ ѡ҆ и҆́мени мое́мъ, и҆ возмо́жетъ вско́рѣ ѕлосло́вити мѧ̀.
For he that is not against us is on our part.
ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι καθ᾿ ὑμῶν, ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
И҆́же бо нѣ́сть на вы̀, по ва́съ є҆́сть.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
ὃς γὰρ ἂν ποτίσῃ ὑμᾶς ποτήριον ὕδατος ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ὅτι Χριστοῦ ἐστε, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ.
И҆́же бо а҆́ще напои́тъ вы̀ ча́шею воды̀ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇тѡ́вы є҆стѐ, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, не погꙋби́тъ мзды̀ своеѧ̀.
