Galatians 4:28–5:10
§ 211
Galatians 4:28–5:10 § 211
Brethren, we, as was Isaac, 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… Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say unto you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works through love. You ran well, [but] who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Luke 3.19-22
§ 10
Luke 3.19-22 § 10
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης, ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ περὶ Ἡρῳδιάδος τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησε πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης,
[Заⷱ҇ 10] И҆́рѡдъ же четвертовла́стникъ, ѡ҆блича́емь ѿ негѡ̀ ѡ҆ и҆рѡдїа́дѣ женѣ̀ бра́та своегѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ ѕла̑ѧ и҆́рѡдъ,
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
προσέθηκε καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ πᾶσι καὶ κατέκλεισε τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
приложѝ и҆ сїѐ над̾ всѣ́ми, и҆ затворѝ і҆ѡа́нна въ темни́цѣ.
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ βαπτισθῆναι ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ Ἰησοῦ βαπτισθέντος καὶ προσευχομένου ἀνεῳχθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν
Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ крⷭ҇ти́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе, и҆ і҆и҃сꙋ кр҃щшꙋсѧ и҆ молѧ́щꙋсѧ, ѿве́рзесѧ не́бо,
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
καὶ καταβῆναι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον σωματικῷ εἴδει ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ φωνὴν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ γενέσθαι λέγουσαν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.
и҆ сни́де дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й тѣле́снымъ ѡ҆́бразомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбь, на́нь: и҆ гла́съ съ небесѐ бы́сть, гл҃ѧ: ты̀ є҆сѝ сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ бл҃говоли́хъ.
