Galatians 3:15–22 § 207

Galatians 3:15–22 § 207

Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man can annul it, or can add to it. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to thy Seed,” who is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through Angels by the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Luke 4.1-15 § 12

Luke 4.1-15 § 12

1

AND Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Ἰησοῦς δὲ πλήρης Πνεύματος Ἁγίου ὑπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἤγετο ἐν τῷ Πνεύματι εἰς τὴν ἔρημον

[Заⷱ҇ 12] І҆и҃съ же и҆спо́лнь дх҃а ст҃а возврати́сѧ ѿ і҆ѻрда́на: и҆ ведѧ́шесѧ дх҃омъ въ пꙋсты́ню,

2

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν οὐδὲν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις· καὶ συντελεσθεισῶν αὐτῶν ὕστερον ἐπείνασε.

дні́й четы́ридесѧть и҆скꙋша́емь ѿ дїа́вола: и҆ не ꙗ҆́стъ ничесѡ́же во дни̑ ты̑ѧ: и҆ сконча́вшымсѧ и҆̀мъ, послѣдѝ взалка̀.

3

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ διάβολος· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰπὲ τῷ λίθῳ τούτῳ ἵνα γένηται ἄρτος.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дїа́волъ: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, рцы̀ ка́меневи семꙋ̀, да бꙋ́детъ хлѣ́бъ.

4

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· γέγραπται ὅτι οὐκ ἐπ᾿ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ἄνθρωπος, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ παντὶ ρήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ διὰ στόματος Θεοῦ.

И҆ ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ къ немꙋ̀, гл҃ѧ: пи́сано є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆ хлѣ́бѣ є҆ди́нѣмъ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ человѣ́къ, но ѡ҆ всѧ́цѣмъ гл҃го́лѣ бж҃їи.

5

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

καὶ ἀναγαγὼν αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς οἰκουμένης ἐν στιγμῇ χρόνου,

И҆ возве́дъ є҆го̀ дїа́волъ на горꙋ̀ высокꙋ̀, показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ всѧ̑ ца̑рствїѧ вселе́нныѧ въ часѣ̀ {чертѣ̀} вре́меннѣ,

6

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ διάβολος· σοὶ δώσω τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην ἅπασαν καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐμοὶ παραδέδοται, καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν θέλω δίδωμι αὐτήν.

и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ дїа́волъ: тебѣ̀ да́мъ вла́сть сїю̀ всю̀ и҆ сла́вꙋ и҆́хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ мнѣ̀ пре́дана є҆́сть, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще хощꙋ̀, да́мъ ю҆̀:

7

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

σὺ οὖν ἐὰν προσκυνήσῃς ἐνώπιόν μου, ἔσται σου πᾶσα.

ты̀ ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́ще поклони́шисѧ предо мно́ю, бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ всѧ̑.

8

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, σατανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ, Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: и҆дѝ за мно́ю, сатано̀: пи́сано є҆́сть: поклони́шисѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ твоемꙋ̀, и҆ томꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ послꙋ́жиши.

9

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ πτερύγιον τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, βάλε σεαυτὸν ἐντεῦθεν κάτω·

И҆ ведѐ є҆го̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ на крилѣ̀ церко́внѣмъ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́ще сн҃ъ є҆сѝ бж҃їй, ве́рзисѧ ѿсю́дꙋ до́лꙋ:

10

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε,

пи́сано бо є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃лѡмъ свои̑мъ заповѣ́сть ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ сохрани́ти тѧ̀:

11

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

καὶ ὅτι ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.

и҆ на рꙋка́хъ во́змꙋтъ тѧ̀, да не когда̀ преткне́ши ѡ҆ ка́мень но́гꙋ твою̀.

12

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι εἴρηται, οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου.

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рече́но є҆́сть: не и҆скꙋ́сиши гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀.

13

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

καὶ συντελέσας πάντα πειρασμὸν ὁ διάβολος ἀπέστη ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἄχρι καιροῦ.

И҆ сконча́въ всѐ и҆скꙋше́нїе дїа́волъ, ѿи́де ѿ негѡ̀ до вре́мене.

14

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

Καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Πνεύματος εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· καὶ φήμη ἐξῆλθε καθ᾿ ὅλης τῆς περιχώρου περὶ αὐτοῦ

И҆ возврати́сѧ і҆и҃съ въ си́лѣ дх҃о́внѣй въ галїле́ю: и҆ вѣ́сть и҆зы́де по все́й странѣ̀ ѡ҆ не́мъ.

15

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδίδασκεν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν δοξαζόμενος ὑπὸ πάντων.

И҆ то́й ᲂу҆ча́ше на со́нмищихъ и҆́хъ, сла́вимь всѣ́ми.
