Colossians 3:17–4:1 § 259

Colossians 3:17–4:1 § 259

Brethren, whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by Him. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men, knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall be repaid for the wrong which he has done, [for] there is no partiality… Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven…

Luke 11.9-13 § 56

Luke 11.9-13 § 56

9

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

κἀγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν, ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε, κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν·

[Заⷱ҇ 56] И҆ а҆́зъ ва́мъ гл҃ю: проси́те, и҆ да́стсѧ ва́мъ: и҆щи́те, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете: толцы́те, и҆ ѿве́рзетсѧ ва́мъ:

10

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιχθήσεται.

всѧ́къ бо просѧ́й прїе́млетъ, и҆ и҆щѧ́й ѡ҆брѣта́етъ, и҆ толкꙋ́щемꙋ ѿве́рзетсѧ.

11

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

τίνα δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν τὸν πατέρα αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; ἢ καὶ ἰχθύν, μὴ ἀντὶ ἰχθύος ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ;

Кото́рагѡ же ва́съ ѻ҆тца̀ воспро́ситъ сы́нъ хлѣ́ба, є҆да̀ ка́мень пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀; и҆лѝ ры́бы, є҆да̀ въ ры́бы мѣ́сто ѕмїю̀ пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀;

12

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

ἢ καὶ ἐὰν αἰτήσῃ ᾠόν, μὴ ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ σκορπίον;

и҆лѝ а҆́ще попро́ситъ ꙗ҆ица̀, є҆да̀ пода́стъ є҆мꙋ̀ скорпі́ю;

13

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς, ὑπάρχοντες πονηροί, οἴδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ πατὴρ ὁ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δώσει πνεῦμα ἀγαθὸν τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо вы̀ ѕлѝ сꙋ́ще, ᲂу҆мѣ́ете даѧ̑нїѧ бла̑га даѧ́ти ча́дѡмъ ва́шымъ, кольмѝ па́че ѻ҆ц҃ъ, и҆́же съ нб҃сѐ, да́стъ дх҃а ст҃а́го просѧ́щымъ ᲂу҆ негѡ̀;
