2 Timothy 3:16–4:4
§ 297
2 Timothy 3:16–4:4 § 297
My son Timothy, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped unto all good works. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom: Preach the Word! Be ready at any time and in every season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they shall turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Luke 19.45-48
§ 98
Luke 19.45-48 § 98
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγοράζοντας
[Заⷱ҇ 98] И҆ вше́дъ въ це́рковь, нача́тъ и҆згони́ти продаю́щыѧ въ не́й и҆ кꙋпꙋ́ющыѧ,
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
λέγων αὐτοῖς· γέγραπται ὅτι ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς ἐστιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε σπήλαιον λῃστῶν.
гл҃ѧ и҆̀мъ: пи́сано є҆́сть: до́мъ мо́й до́мъ моли́твы є҆́сть: вы́ же сотвори́сте є҆го̀ пеще́рꙋ разбо́йникѡмъ.
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
И҆ бѣ̀ ᲂу҆чѧ̀ по всѧ̑ дни̑ въ це́ркви. А҆рхїере́є же и҆ кни́жницы и҆ска́хꙋ є҆го̀ погꙋби́ти, и҆ старѣ̑йшины лю́демъ:
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
καὶ οὐχ εὕρισκον τὸ τί ποιήσουσιν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἅπας ἐξεκρέματο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων.
и҆ не ѡ҆брѣта́хꙋ, что́ бы сотвори́ли є҆мꙋ̀: лю́дїе бо всѝ держа́хꙋсѧ є҆гѡ̀, послꙋ́шающе є҆го̀.
