James 2:1–13
§ 52
James 2:1–13 § 52
Brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “Sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You, stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not kill.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy; and mercy triumphs over judgment.
Luke 19.12-28
§ 95
Luke 19.12-28 § 95
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
εἶπεν οὖν· ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
Речѐ ᲂу҆̀бо: [Заⷱ҇ 95] человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй добра̀ ро́да и҆́де на странꙋ̀ дале́че прїѧ́ти себѣ̀ ца́рство и҆ возврати́тисѧ:
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πραγματεύσασθε ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι.
призва́въ же де́сѧть ра̑бъ свои́хъ, дадѐ и҆̀мъ де́сѧть мна̑съ и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: кꙋ́плю дѣ́йте, до́ндеже прїидꙋ̀.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς.
И҆ гра́ждане є҆гѡ̀ ненави́дѧхꙋ є҆го̀ и҆ посла́ша послы̀ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́люще: не хо́щемъ семꙋ̀, да ца́рствꙋетъ над̾ на́ми.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ εἶπε φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς ἔδωκε τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ τίς τί διεπραγματεύσατο.
И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ возврати́сѧ прїи́мъ ца́рство, речѐ пригласи́ти рабы̑ ты̑ѧ, и҆̀мже дадѐ сребро̀, да ᲂу҆вѣ́сть, каковꙋ̀ кꙋ́плю сꙋ́ть сотвори́ли.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου προσειργάσατο δέκα μνᾶς.
Прїи́де же пе́рвый, глаго́лѧ: го́споди, мна́съ твоѧ̀ придѣ́ла де́сѧть мна̑съ.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εὖ, ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε· ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: бла́гѡ, ра́бе до́брый: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ ма́лѣ вѣ́ренъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ, бꙋ́ди ѡ҆́бласть и҆мѣ́ѧ над̾ десѧтїю̀ градѡ́въ.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων· κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου ἐποίησε πέντε μνᾶς.
И҆ прїи́де вторы́й, глаго́лѧ: го́споди, мна́съ твоѧ̀ сотворѝ пѧ́ть мна̑съ.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
εἶπε δὲ καὶ τούτῳ· καὶ σὺ γίνου ἐπάνω πέντε πόλεων.
Рече́ же и҆ томꙋ̀: и҆ ты̀ бꙋ́ди над̾ пѧтїю̀ градѡ́въ.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
καὶ ἕτερος ἦλθε λέγων· κύριε, ἰδοὺ ἡ μνᾶ σου, ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ.
И҆ дрꙋгі́й прїи́де, глаго́лѧ: го́споди, сѐ, мна́съ твоѧ̀, ю҆́же и҆мѣ́хъ положе́нꙋ во ᲂу҆брꙋ́сѣ:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ· αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας, καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρας, καὶ συνάγεις ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισας.
боѧ́хсѧ бо тебє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́ръ є҆сѝ, взе́млеши, є҆гѡ́же не положи́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ жне́ши, є҆гѡ́же не сѣ́ѧлъ є҆сѝ.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρινῶ σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ᾔδεις ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι ἐγώ, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα, καὶ συνάγων ὅθεν οὐ διεσκόρπισα·
Глаго́ла же є҆мꙋ̀: ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ твои́хъ сꙋждꙋ́ ти, лꙋка́вый ра́бе: вѣ́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́ръ є҆́смь, взе́млю, є҆гѡ́же не положи́хъ, и҆ жнꙋ̀, є҆гѡ́же не сѣ́ѧхъ:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
καὶ διατί οὐκ ἔδωκας τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐλθὼν σὺν τόκῳ ἂν ἔπραξα αὐτό;
и҆ почто̀ не вда́лъ є҆сѝ моегѡ̀ сребра̀ кꙋпцє́мъ, и҆ а҆́зъ прише́дъ съ ли́хвою и҆стѧза́лъ бы́хъ є҆̀;
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν. ἄρατε ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν καὶ δότε τῷ τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἔχοντι.
И҆ предстоѧ́щымъ речѐ: возми́те ѿ негѡ̀ мна́съ и҆ дади́те и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ де́сѧть мна̑съ.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· κύριε, ἔχει δέκα μνᾶς.
И҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: го́споди, и҆́мать де́сѧть мна̑съ.
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἔχοντι δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
Глаго́лю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́комꙋ и҆мꙋ́щемꙋ да́стсѧ: а҆ ѿ неимꙋ́щагѡ, и҆ є҆́же и҆́мать, ѿи́метсѧ ѿ негѡ̀:
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐκείνους, τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἔμπροσθέν μου.
ѻ҆ба́че врагѝ моѧ̑ ѡ҆́ны, и҆̀же не восхотѣ́ша менѐ, да ца́рь бы́хъ бы́лъ над̾ ни́ми, приведи́те сѣ́мѡ и҆ и҆зсѣцы́те предо мно́ю.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ, и҆дѧ́ше предѝ, восходѧ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
