Hebrews § 329
by faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “in Isaac shall thy seed be called,” accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, so to say, from which he also received him. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was bom, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment... By faith Moses, when he came of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward... By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about for seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those that did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

Chapter 9
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
καὶ ὃς ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, καλόν ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον εἰ περίκειται λίθος μυλικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ βέβληται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.
[Заⷱ҇ 42] И҆ и҆́же а҆́ще соблазни́тъ є҆ди́наго ѿ ма́лыхъ си́хъ вѣ́рꙋющихъ въ мѧ̀, до́брѣе є҆́сть є҆мꙋ̀ па́че, а҆́ще ѡ҆блѣжи́тъ ка́мень же́рновный ѡ҆ вы́и є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вве́рженъ бꙋ́детъ въ мо́ре.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
καὶ ἐὰν σκανδαλίζῃ σε ἡ χείρ σου, ἀπόκοψον αὐτήν· καλὸν σοί ἐστι κυλλὸν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, ἢ τὰς δύο χεῖρας ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν, εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον,
И҆ а҆́ще соблажнѧ́етъ тѧ̀ рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀, ѿсѣцы̀ ю҆̀: до́брѣе тѝ є҆́сть бѣ́дникꙋ {без̾ рꙋкѝ} въ живо́тъ вни́ти, не́же ѻ҆́бѣ рꙋ́цѣ и҆мꙋ́щꙋ вни́ти въ гее́ннꙋ, во ѻ҆́гнь неꙋгаса́ющїй,
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.
и҆дѣ́же че́рвь и҆́хъ не ᲂу҆мира́етъ, и҆ ѻ҆́гнь не ᲂу҆гаса́етъ.
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
καὶ ἐὰν ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἀπόκοψον αὐτόν· καλὸν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλόν, ἢ τοὺς δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν, εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον,
И҆ а҆́ще нога̀ твоѧ̀ соблажнѧ́етъ тѧ̀, ѿсѣцы̀ ю҆̀: до́брѣе тѝ є҆́сть вни́ти въ живо́тъ хро́мꙋ, не́же двѣ̀ но́зѣ и҆мꙋ́щꙋ вве́рженꙋ бы́ти въ гее́ннꙋ, во ѻ҆́гнь неꙋгаса́ющїй,
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.
и҆дѣ́же че́рвь и҆́хъ не ᲂу҆мира́етъ, и҆ ѻ҆́гнь не ᲂу҆гаса́етъ.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
καὶ ἐὰν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζῃ σε, ἔκβαλε αὐτόν· καλὸν σοί ἐστι μονόφθαλμον εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἢ τοὺς δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός,
И҆ а҆́ще ѻ҆́ко твоѐ соблажнѧ́етъ тѧ̀, и҆сткнѝ є҆̀: до́брѣе тѝ є҆́сть со є҆ди́нѣмъ ѻ҆́комъ вни́ти въ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе, не́же двѣ̀ ѡ҆́цѣ и҆мꙋ́щꙋ вве́рженꙋ бы́ти въ гее́ннꙋ ѻ҆́гненнꙋю,
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾷ καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται.
и҆дѣ́же че́рвь и҆́хъ не ᲂу҆мира́етъ, и҆ ѻ҆́гнь не ᲂу҆гаса́етъ.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
πᾶς γὰρ πυρὶ ἁλισθήσεται, καὶ πᾶσα θυσία ἁλὶ ἁλισθήσεται.
Всѧ́къ бо ѻ҆гне́мъ ѡ҆соли́тсѧ, и҆ всѧ́ка же́ртва со́лїю ѡ҆соли́тсѧ.
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
καλὸν τὸ ἅλας· ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας ἄναλον γένηται, ἐν τίνι αὐτὸ ἀρτύσετε; ἔχετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἅλας καὶ εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.
Добро̀ со́ль: а҆́ще же со́ль не слана̀ бꙋ́детъ, чи́мъ ѡ҆соли́тсѧ; И҆мѣ́йте со́ль въ себѣ̀, и҆ ми́ръ и҆мѣ́йте междꙋ̀ собо́ю.
Chapter 10
AND he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀναστὰς ἔρχεται εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας διὰ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ συμπορεύονται πάλιν ὄχλοι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὡς εἰώθει, πάλιν ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
И҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ воста́въ пре́йде въ предѣ́лы і҆ꙋдє́йскїѧ, {чрез̾ странꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́же} ѡ҆б̾ ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ і҆ѻрда́на. И҆ снидо́шасѧ па́ки наро́ди къ немꙋ̀: и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆бы́чай и҆мѣ̀, па́ки ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆̀хъ.
