Philippians 3:1–8
§ 244
Philippians 3:1–8 § 244
Brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of them that mutilate the flesh! For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as concerning the law, a Phárisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the Church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were a gain to me, these I have counted as a loss for the sake of Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things as a loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord … for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ…
Luke 9.7-11
§ 41
Luke 9.7-11 § 41
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
Ἤκουσε δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης τὰ γινόμενα ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ πάντα, καὶ διηπόρει διὰ τὸ λέγεσθαι ὑπό τινων ὅτι Ἰωάννης ἐγήγερται ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν,
[Заⷱ҇ 41] Слы́ша же и҆́рѡдъ четвертовла́стникъ быва̑ющаѧ ѿ негѡ̀ всѧ̑ и҆ недоꙋмѣва́шесѧ: занѐ глаго́лемо бѣ̀ ѿ нѣ́кихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ѡа́ннъ воста̀ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ:
And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
ὑπό τινων δὲ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη, ἄλλων δὲ ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη.
ѿ и҆нѣ́хъ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆лїа̀ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ: ѿ дрꙋги́хъ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ є҆ди́нъ ѿ дре́внихъ воскре́се.
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἡρῴδης· Ἰωάννην ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα· τίς δέ ἐστιν οὗτος περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ ἀκούω τοιαῦτα; καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν αὐτόν.
И҆ речѐ и҆́рѡдъ: і҆ѡа́нна а҆́зъ ᲂу҆сѣ́кнꙋхъ: кто́ же є҆́сть се́й, ѡ҆ не́мже а҆́зъ слы́шꙋ такѡва́ѧ; И҆ и҆ска́ше ви́дѣти є҆го̀.
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
Καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες οἱ ἀπόστολοι διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ ὅσα ἐποίησαν. καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ὑπεχώρησε κατ᾿ ἰδίαν εἰς τόπον ἔρημον πόλεως καλουμένης Βηθσαϊδά.
И҆ возвра́щшесѧ а҆пⷭ҇ли повѣ́даша є҆мꙋ̀, є҆ли̑ка сотвори́ша: и҆ пои́мь и҆̀хъ, ѿи́де є҆ди́нъ {ѡ҆со́бь} на мѣ́сто пꙋ́сто гра́да, нарица́емагѡ виѳсаі́да.
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι γνόντες ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ δεξάμενος αὐτοὺς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τοὺς χρείαν ἔχοντας θεραπείας ἰάσατο.
Наро́ди же разꙋмѣ́вше, по не́мъ и҆до́ша: и҆ прїе́мь и҆̀хъ, гл҃аше и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи и҆ тре́бꙋющыѧ и҆сцѣле́нїѧ цѣлѧ́ше.
