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 6.24-30
§ 25
Luke 6.24-30 § 25
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
πλὴν οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς πλουσίοις, ὅτι ἀπέχετε τὴν παράκλησιν ὑμῶν.
[Заⷱ҇ 25] Ѻ҆ба́че го́ре ва́мъ бога̑тымъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿстоитѐ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїѧ ва́шегѡ {ꙗ҆́кѡ воспрїе́млете ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе ва́ше}.
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν οἱ ἐμπεπλησμένοι, ὅτι πεινάσετε. οὐαὶ ὑμῖν οἱ γελῶντες νῦν, ὅτι πενθήσετε καὶ κλαύσετε.
Го́ре ва́мъ, насыще́ннїи нн҃ѣ: ꙗ҆́кѡ вза́лчете. Го́ре ва́мъ смѣю́щымсѧ нн҃ѣ: ꙗ҆́кѡ возрыда́ете и҆ воспла́чете.
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
οὐαὶ ὅταν καλῶς ὑμᾶς εἴπωσι πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι· κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ γὰρ ἐποίουν τοῖς ψευδοπροφήταις οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν.
Го́ре, є҆гда̀ до́брѣ рекꙋ́тъ ва́мъ всѝ человѣ́цы. По си̑мъ бо творѧ́хꙋ лжепроро́кѡмъ ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ.
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Ἀλλὰ ὑμῖν λέγω τοῖς ἀκούουσιν· ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς,
Но ва́мъ гл҃ю слы́шащымъ: люби́те врагѝ ва́шѧ, добро̀ твори́те ненави́дѧщымъ ва́съ,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμῖν, προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς.
благослови́те кленꙋ́щыѧ вы̀, и҆ моли́тесѧ за творѧ́щихъ ва́мъ ѡ҆би́дꙋ.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
τῷ τύπτοντί σε ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντός σου τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς.
Бїю́щемꙋ тѧ̀ въ лани́тꙋ, пода́ждь и҆ дрꙋгꙋ́ю: и҆ ѿ взима́ющагѡ тѝ ри́зꙋ, и҆ срачи́цꙋ не возбранѝ.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
παντὶ δὲ τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δίδου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντος τὰ σὰ μὴ ἀπαίτει.
Всѧ́комꙋ же просѧ́щемꙋ ᲂу҆ тебє̀ да́й: и҆ ѿ взима́ющагѡ твоѧ̑ не и҆стѧзꙋ́й.
