Philippians 1:27–2:4
§ 239
Philippians 1:27–2:4 § 239
Brethren, let your conduct be worthy of the Gospel of Christ … so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God. For unto you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake, having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me … Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Luke 11.23-26
§ 58
Luke 11.23-26 § 58
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει.
[Заⷱ҇ 58] И҆́же нѣ́сть со мно́ю, на мѧ̀ є҆́сть: и҆ и҆́же не собира́етъ со мно́ю, расточа́етъ.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
ὅταν τὸ ἀκάθαρτον πνεῦμα ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, διέρχεται δι᾿ ἀνύδρων τόπων ζητοῦν ἀνάπαυσιν, καὶ μὴ εὑρίσκον λέγει· ὑποστρέψω εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου ὅθεν ἐξῆλθον·
Є҆гда́ (же) нечи́стый дꙋ́хъ и҆зы́детъ ѿ человѣ́ка, прехо́дитъ сквозѣ̀ безвѡ́днаѧ мѣ̑ста, и҆щѧ̀ поко́ѧ: и҆ не ѡ҆брѣта́ѧ, глаго́летъ: возвращꙋ́сѧ въ до́мъ мо́й, ѿню́дꙋже и҆зыдо́хъ.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
καὶ ἐλθὸν εὑρίσκει σεσαρωμένον καὶ κεκοσμημένον.
И҆ прише́дъ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ и҆̀ помете́нъ и҆ ᲂу҆кра́шенъ:
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
τότε πορεύεται καὶ παραλαμβάνει ἑπτὰ ἕτερα πνεύματα πονηρότερα ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ εἰσελθόντα κατοικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ γίνεται τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκείνου χείρονα τῶν πρώτων.
тогда̀ и҆́детъ и҆ по́йметъ се́дмь дрꙋги́хъ дꙋхѡ́въ го́ршихъ себє̀, и҆ вше́дше живꙋ́тъ тꙋ̀: и҆ быва́ютъ послѣ̑днѧѧ человѣ́кꙋ томꙋ̀ гѡ́рша пе́рвыхъ.
