1 Corinthians 4:5–8 § 130ctr

1 Corinthians 4:5–8 § 130ctr

Brethren, judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have the praise of God... And these things, brethren, I have applied to myself and Apóllos for your sakes, that you might learn in us not to think beyond that which is written, that none of you be puffed up on behalf of one against the other. For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you glory as if you had not received it? You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us; and indeed I wish to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

Galatians 4:22–31 § 210ctr (St Anna)

Galatians 4:22–31 (St Anna) § 210ctr

St Anna

Brethren, Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh, and he of the free woman was by promise, which things are an allegory. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sínai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hágar—for this Hágar is Mount Sínai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not! Break forth and shout, thou that travailest not! For the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband”… Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free…

Matthew 13.44-54 § 55

Matthew 13.44-54 § 55

44

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν θησαυρῷ κεκρυμμένῳ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔκρυψε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἔχει πωλεῖ καὶ ἀγοράζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον.

[Заⷱ҇ 55] Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное сокро́вищꙋ сокрове́нꙋ на селѣ̀, є҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́тъ человѣ́къ скры̀, и҆ ѿ ра́дости є҆гѡ̀ и҆́детъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́мать, продае́тъ, и҆ кꙋпꙋ́етъ село̀ то̀.

45

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐμπόρῳ ζητοῦντι καλοὺς μαργαρίτας·

Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное человѣ́кꙋ кꙋпцꙋ̀, и҆́щꙋщꙋ до́брыхъ би́серей,

46

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

ὃς εὑρὼν ἕνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην ἀπελθὼν πέπρακε πάντα ὅσα εἶχε καὶ ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν.

и҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́тъ є҆ди́нъ многоцѣ́ненъ би́серъ, ше́дъ продадѐ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆мѧ́ше, и҆ кꙋпѝ є҆го̀.

47

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν σαγήνῃ βληθείσῃ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἐκ παντὸς γένους συναγαγούσῃ·

Па́ки подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное не́водꙋ вве́рженꙋ въ мо́ре и҆ ѿ всѧ́кагѡ ро́да собра́вшꙋ,

48

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

ἥν, ὅτε ἐπληρώθη, ἀναβιβάσαντες αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλὸν καὶ καθίσαντες συνέλεξαν τὰ καλὰ εἰς ἀγγεῖα, τὰ δὲ σαπρὰ ἔξω ἔβαλον.

и҆́же є҆гда̀ и҆спо́лнисѧ, и҆звлеко́ша и҆̀ на кра́й, и҆ сѣ́дше и҆збра́ша дѡ́брыѧ въ сосꙋ́ды, а҆ ѕлы̑ѧ и҆зверго́ша во́нъ.

49

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος. ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀφοριοῦσι τοὺς πονηροὺς ἐκ μέσου τῶν δικαίων,

Та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ въ сконча́нїе вѣ́ка: и҆зы́дꙋтъ а҆́гг҃ли, и҆ ѿлꙋча́тъ ѕлы̑ѧ ѿ среды̀ првⷣныхъ,

50

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων.

и҆ вве́ргꙋтъ и҆̀хъ въ пе́щь ѻ҆́гненнꙋю: тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ.

51

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· συνήκατε ταῦτα πάντα; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, ναί, Κύριε.

Гл҃а и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: разꙋмѣ́сте ли сїѧ̑ всѧ̑; Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: є҆́й, гдⷭ҇и.

52

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· διὰ τοῦτο πᾶς γραμματεὺς μαθητευθεὶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ, ὅστις ἐκβάλλει ἐκ τοῦ θησαυροῦ αὐτοῦ καινὰ καὶ παλαιά.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди всѧ́къ кни́жникъ, наꙋчи́всѧ црⷭ҇твїю нбⷭ҇номꙋ, подо́бенъ є҆́сть человѣ́кꙋ домови́тꙋ, и҆́же и҆зно́ситъ ѿ сокро́вища своегѡ̀ нѡ́ваѧ и҆ вє́тхаѧ.

53

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς παραβολὰς ταύτας μετῆρεν ἐκεῖθεν,

[Заⷱ҇ 56] И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ сконча̀ і҆и҃съ при̑тчи сїѧ̑, пре́йде ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.

54

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν, ὥστε ἐκπλήττεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ λέγειν· πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὕτη καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις;

И҆ прише́дъ во ѻ҆те́чествїе своѐ, ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆̀хъ на со́нмищи и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ диви́тисѧ и҆̀мъ и҆ глаго́лати: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ семꙋ̀ премⷣрость сїѧ̀ и҆ си̑лы;

16

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ λυχνίας ἐπιτίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσι τὸ φῶς.

[Заⷱ҇ 36] Никто́же (ᲂу҆̀бо) свѣти́льника вже́гъ, покрыва́етъ є҆го̀ сосꙋ́домъ, и҆лѝ под̾ ѻ҆́дръ подлага́етъ: но на свѣ́щникъ возлага́етъ, да входѧ́щїи ви́дѧтъ свѣ́тъ.

17

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

οὐ γάρ ἐστι κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.

Нѣ́сть бо та́йно, є҆́же не ꙗ҆вле́но бꙋ́детъ: нижѐ ᲂу҆тае́но, є҆́же не позна́етсѧ и҆ въ ꙗ҆вле́нїе прїи́детъ.

18

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

Блюди́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо, ка́кѡ слы́шите: и҆́же бо и҆́мать, да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не и҆́мать, и҆ є҆́же мни́тсѧ и҆мѣ́ѧ, во́зметсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.

19

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

Παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.

Прїидо́ша же къ немꙋ̀ мт҃и и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не можа́хꙋ бесѣ́довати къ немꙋ̀ наро́да ра́ди.

20

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη αὐτῷ λεγόντων· ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν σε θέλοντες.

И҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: мт҃и твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ внѣ̀ стоѧ́тъ, ви́дѣти тѧ̀ хотѧ́ще.

21

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες αὐτόν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: ма́ти моѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑ сі́и сꙋ́ть, слы́шащїи сло́во бж҃їе, и҆ творѧ́щїи є҆̀.
