1 Timothy 6:11–16 § 288 (Saturday after Nativity)

1 Timothy 6:11–16 (Saturday after Nativity) § 288

Saturday after Nativity

My son Timothy, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

Ephesians 2:11–13 § 220ctr

Ephesians 2:11–13 § 220ctr

Brethren, remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands; that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were afar off have been made near by the Blood of Christ.

Saturday after Nativity

15

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν· καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας,

И҆ по не́мъ и҆до́ша наро́ди мно́зи, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ и҆̀хъ всѣ́хъ:

16

And charged them that they should not make him known:

καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν αὐτόν,

и҆ запретѝ и҆̀мъ, да не ꙗ҆́вѣ є҆го̀ творѧ́тъ:

17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

ὅπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ρηθὲν διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·

ꙗ҆́кѡ да сбꙋ́детсѧ рече́нное и҆са́їемъ прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ:

18

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς μου, ὃν ᾑρέτισα, ὁ ἀγαπητός μου, εἰς ὃν εὐδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· θήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγελεῖ·

сѐ, ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й, є҆го́же и҆зво́лихъ, возлю́бленный мо́й, на́ньже бл҃говолѝ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀: положꙋ̀ дх҃ъ мо́й на не́мъ, и҆ сꙋ́дъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ возвѣсти́тъ:

19

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

οὐκ ἐρίσει οὐδὲ κραυγάσει, οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις τὴν φωνήν αὐτοῦ.

не пререче́тъ, ни возопїе́тъ, нижѐ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ кто̀ на распꙋ́тїихъ гла́са є҆гѡ̀:

20

A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

κάλαμον συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεάξει καὶ λίνον τυφόμενον οὐ σβέσει, ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν.

тро́сти сокрꙋше́нны не прело́митъ и҆ ле́на вне́мшасѧ не ᲂу҆гаси́тъ, до́ндеже и҆зведе́тъ въ побѣ́дꙋ сꙋ́дъ:

21

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσι.

и҆ на и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆зы́цы ᲂу҆пова́ти и҆́мꙋтъ.

Luke 17.3-10 § 84

Luke 17.3-10 § 84

3

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς. ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ἐπιτίμησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες αὐτῷ·

[Заⷱ҇ 84] Внемли́те себѣ̀. А҆́ще согрѣши́тъ къ тебѣ̀ бра́тъ тво́й, запретѝ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ а҆́ще пока́етсѧ, ѡ҆ста́ви є҆мꙋ̀:

4

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ καὶ ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπιστρέψῃ πρός σε λέγων, μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ.

и҆ а҆́ще седми́щи на де́нь согрѣши́тъ къ тебѣ̀ и҆ седми́щи на де́нь ѡ҆брати́тсѧ, глаго́лѧ: ка́юсѧ: ѡ҆ста́ви є҆мꙋ̀.

5

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀπόστολοι τῷ Κυρίῳ· πρόσθες ἡμῖν πίστιν.

И҆ реко́ша а҆пⷭ҇ли гдⷭ҇еви: приложѝ на́мъ вѣ́рꙋ.

6

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· εἰ ἔχετε πίστιν ὡς κόκκον σινάπεως, ἐλέγετε ἂν τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ, ἐκριζώθητι καὶ φυτεύθητι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ὑπήκουσεν ἂν ὑμῖν.

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: а҆́ще бы́сте и҆мѣ́ли вѣ́рꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ зе́рно горꙋ́шно, глаго́лали бы́сте ᲂу҆́бѡ ꙗ҆́годичинѣ се́й: восто́ргнисѧ и҆ всади́сѧ въ мо́ре: и҆ послꙋ́шала бы ва́съ.

7

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

τίς δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα, ὃς εἰσελθόντι ἐκ τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐρεῖ, εὐθέως παρελθὼν ἀνάπεσε,

Кото́рый же ѿ ва́съ раба̀ и҆мѣ́ѧ ѡ҆рю́ща и҆лѝ пасꙋ́ща, и҆́же прише́дшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ съ села̀ рече́тъ: а҆́бїе минꙋ́въ {прише́дъ} возлѧ́зи;

8

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

ἀλλ᾿ οὐχὶ ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· ἑτοίμασον τί δειπνήσω, καὶ περιζωσάμενος διακόνει μοι ἕως φάγω καὶ πίω, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα φάγεσαι καὶ πίεσαι σύ;

Но не рече́тъ ли є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆гото́вай, что̀ вечерѧ́ю, и҆ препоѧ́савсѧ слꙋжи́ ми, до́ндеже ꙗ҆́мъ и҆ пїю̀: и҆ пото́мъ ꙗ҆́си и҆ пїе́ши ты̀;

9

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

μὴ χάριν ἔχει τῷ δούλῳ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι ἐποίησε τὰ διαταχθέντα; οὐ δοκῶ.

Є҆да̀ и҆́мать хвалꙋ̀ {благодари́тъ} рабꙋ̀ томꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотворѝ повелѣ̑ннаѧ; не мню̀.

10

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ποιήσητε πάντα τὰ διαταχθέντα ὑμῖν, λέγετε ὅτι δοῦλοι ἀχρεῖοί ἐσμεν, ὅτι ὃ ὠφείλομεν ποιῆσαι πεποιήκαμεν.

Та́кѡ и҆ вы̀, є҆гда̀ сотворитѐ всѧ̑ повелѣ̑ннаѧ ва́мъ, глаго́лите, ꙗ҆́кѡ рабѝ неключи́ми є҆смы̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ, є҆́же до́лжни бѣ́хомъ сотвори́ти, сотвори́хомъ.
