1 Timothy 5:11–21
§ 286
1 Timothy 5:11–21 § 286
My son Timothy, refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some have already turned aside after Satan. If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the Church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, ‘The laborer is worthy of his wages.” Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect Angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.
Galatians 5:22–6:2 (St Alexander) § 213
St Alexander
Precious in the sight of the Lord / is the death of His Saints!
Verse: What shall I render to the Lord for all His bounty to me?
Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual restore, such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ...
Blessed is the man who feareth the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments.
Verse: His seed shall be mighty in the land.
The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not fear evil tidings.
Luke 17.26-37
§ 87
Luke 17.26-37 § 87
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
καὶ καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
[Заⷱ҇ 87] И҆ ꙗ҆́коже бы́сть во дни̑ нѡ́євы, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆ во дни̑ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческа:
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἐγάμουν, ἐξεγαμίζοντο, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε ὁ Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ, пїѧ́хꙋ, женѧ́хꙋсѧ, посѧга́хꙋ, до негѡ́же днѐ вни́де нѡ́е въ ковче́гъ: и҆ прїи́де пото́пъ и҆ погꙋбѝ всѧ̑.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
ὁμοίως καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν·
Та́кожде и҆ ꙗ҆́коже бы́сть во дни̑ лѡ́тѡвы: ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ, пїѧ́хꙋ, кꙋпова́хꙋ, продаѧ́хꙋ, сажда́хꙋ, зда́хꙋ:
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
ᾗ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξῆλθε Λὼτ ἀπὸ Σοδόμων, ἔβρεξε πῦρ καὶ θεῖον ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
во́ньже де́нь и҆зы́де лѡ́тъ ѿ содо́млѧнъ, ѡ҆дождѝ ка́мыкъ горѧ́щь и҆ ѻ҆́гнь съ небесѐ и҆ погꙋбѝ всѧ̑:
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποκαλύπτεται.
по томꙋ́ же бꙋ́детъ и҆ въ де́нь, во́ньже сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ.
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
Въ то́й де́нь, и҆́же бꙋ́детъ на кро́вѣ, и҆ сосꙋ́ди є҆гѡ̀ въ домꙋ̀, да не сла́зитъ взѧ́ти и҆̀хъ: и҆ и҆́же на селѣ̀, та́кожде да не возврати́тсѧ вспѧ́ть:
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ αὐτήν, ζωογονήσει αὐτήν.
И҆́же а҆́ще взы́щетъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ спастѝ, погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀, живи́тъ ю҆̀.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
λέγω ὑμῖν, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ δύο ἔσονται ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται·
Гл҃ю ва́мъ: въ тꙋ̀ но́щь бꙋ́дета два̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ є҆ди́нѣмъ: є҆ди́нъ пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋгі́й ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ:
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
δύο ἔσονται ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, μία παραληφθήσεται καὶ ἡ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται·
бꙋ́детѣ двѣ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ ме́лющѣ: є҆ди́на пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋга́ѧ ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται.
Два̀ бꙋ́дета на селѣ̀: є҆ди́нъ пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋгі́й ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ.
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται καὶ οἱ ἀετοί.
И҆ ѿвѣща́вше глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: гдѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆дѣ́же тѣ́ло, та́мѡ соберꙋ́тсѧ и҆ ѻ҆рлѝ.
Matthew 11.27-30 (St Alexander) § 43
St Alexander
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιγινώσκει τὸν υἱὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ, οὐδὲ τὸν πατέρα τις ἐπιγινώσκει εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν βούληται ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.
[Заⷱ҇ 43] Всѧ̑ мнѣ̀ прє́дана сꙋ́ть ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ мои́мъ: и҆ никто́же зна́етъ сн҃а, то́кмѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ: ни ѻ҆ц҃а̀ кто̀ зна́етъ, то́кмѡ сн҃ъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще во́литъ сн҃ъ ѿкры́ти.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Δεῦτε πρός με πάντες οἱ κοπιῶντες καὶ πεφορτισμένοι, κἀγὼ ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς.
Прїиди́те ко мнѣ̀ всѝ трꙋжда́ющїисѧ и҆ ѡ҆бремене́ннїи, и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆поко́ю вы̀:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
ἄρατε τὸν ζυγόν μου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ μάθετε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι πρᾷός εἰμι καὶ ταπεινὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἀνάπαυσιν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν·
возми́те и҆́го моѐ на себѐ и҆ наꙋчи́тесѧ ѿ менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ кро́токъ є҆́смь и҆ смире́нъ срⷣцемъ: и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете поко́й дꙋша́мъ ва́шымъ:
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
ὁ γὰρ ζυγός μου χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν ἐστιν.
и҆́го бо моѐ бл҃го, и҆ бре́мѧ моѐ легко̀ є҆́сть.
