Philippians 3:8–19
§ 245
Philippians 3:8–19 § 245
Brethren, I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ … and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His Resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed unto His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as be perfect, have this in mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, [and] let us mind the same thing. Brethren, join in following me, and note those who so walk, as you have us for an example. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their mind on earthly things.
Luke 9.12-18
§ 42
Luke 9.12-18 § 42
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα ἤρξατο κλίνειν· προσελθόντες δὲ οἱ δώδεκα εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἀπόλυσον τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα πορευθέντες εἰς τὰς κύκλῳ κώμας καὶ τοὺς ἀγροὺς καταλύσωσι καὶ εὕρωσιν ἐπισιτισμόν, ὅτι ὧδε ἐν ἐρήμῳ τόπῳ ἐσμέν.
Де́нь же нача́тъ прекланѧ́тисѧ. [Заⷱ҇ 42] Пристꙋ́пльше же ѻ҆бана́десѧте реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: ѿпꙋстѝ наро́дъ, да ше́дше во ѡ҆крє́стныѧ вє́си и҆ се́ла вита́ютъ и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ бра́шно: ꙗ҆́кѡ здѣ̀ въ пꙋ́стѣ мѣ́стѣ є҆смы̀.
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν. οἱ δὲ εἶπον· οὐκ εἰσὶν ἡμῖν πλεῖον ἢ πέντε ἄρτοι καὶ ἰχθύες δύο, εἰ μήτι πορευθέντες ἡμεῖς ἀγοράσωμεν εἰς πάντα τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον βρώματα·
Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: дади́те и҆̀мъ вы̀ ꙗ҆́сти. Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: нѣ́сть ᲂу҆ на́съ вѧ́щше, то́кмѡ пѧ́ть хлѣ̑бъ и҆ ры̑бѣ двѣ̀, а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо не ше́дше мы̀ кꙋ́пимъ во всѧ̑ лю́ди сїѧ̑ бра̑шна.
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
ἦσαν γὰρ ὡσεὶ ἄνδρες πεντακισχίλιοι. εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· κατακλίνατε αὐτοὺς κλισίας ἀνὰ πεντήκοντα.
Бѣ́хꙋ бо мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ пѧ́ть ты́сѧщъ. Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: посади́те и҆̀хъ на кꙋ̑пы по пѧти́десѧтъ.
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτω καὶ ἀνέκλιναν ἅπαντας.
И҆ сотвори́ша та́кѡ и҆ посади́ша и҆̀хъ всѧ̑.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
λαβὼν δὲ τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατέκλασε, καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς παραθεῖναι τῷ ὄχλῳ.
Прїи́мъ же пѧ́ть хлѣ̑бъ и҆ ѻ҆́бѣ ры̑бѣ, воззрѣ́въ на не́бо, блгⷭ҇вѝ и҆̀хъ, и҆ преломѝ, и҆ даѧ́ше ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ предложи́ти наро́дꙋ.
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν πάντες, καὶ ἤρθη τὸ περισσεῦσαν αὐτοῖς κλασμάτων κόφινοι δώδεκα.
И҆ ꙗ҆до́ша и҆ насы́тишасѧ всѝ: и҆ взѧ́ша и҆збы́вшыѧ и҆̀мъ ᲂу҆крꙋ́хи ко́шѧ двана́десѧте.
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν προσευχόμενον καταμόνας, συνῆσαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς λέγων· τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ὄχλοι εἶναι;
[Заⷱ҇ 43] И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ молѧ́шесѧ є҆ди́нъ, съ ни́мъ бѣ́хꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀: и҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ, гл҃ѧ: кого́ мѧ глаго́лютъ наро́ди бы́ти;
