1 Corinthians 15:39–45 § 162

1 Corinthians 15:39–45 § 162

Brethren, all flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, “The first man Adam was made a living soul.” The Last Adam became a Life-giving Spirit…

Luke 5.17-26 § 19

Luke 5.17-26 § 19

17

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν διδάσκων, καὶ ἦσαν καθήμενοι Φαρισαῖοι καὶ νομοδιδάσκαλοι, οἳ ἦσαν ἐληλυθότες ἐκ πάσης κώμης τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ δύναμις Κυρίου ἦν εἰς τὸ ἰᾶσθαι αὐτούς.

[Заⷱ҇ 19] И҆ бы́сть во є҆ди́нъ ѿ дні́й, и҆ то́й бѣ̀ ᲂу҆чѧ̀: и҆ бѣ́хꙋ сѣдѧ́ще фарїсе́є и҆ законоꙋчи́телїе, и҆̀же бѣ́хꙋ пришлѝ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ ве́си галїле́йскїѧ и҆ і҆ꙋде́йскїѧ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскїѧ: и҆ си́ла гдⷭ҇нѧ бѣ̀ и҆сцѣлѧ́ющи и҆̀хъ:

18

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες φέροντες ἐπὶ κλίνης ἄνθρωπον ὃς ἦν παραλελυμένος καὶ ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν εἰσενεγκεῖν καὶ θεῖναι ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жїе носѧ́ще на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ человѣ́ка, и҆́же бѣ̀ разсла́бленъ, и҆ и҆ска́хꙋ внестѝ є҆го̀ и҆ положи́ти пред̾ ни́мъ:

19

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες ποίας εἰσενέγκωσιν αὐτὸν διὰ τὸν ὄχλον, ἀναβάντες ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα διὰ τῶν κεράμων καθῆκαν αὐτὸν σὺν τῷ κλινιδίῳ εἰς τὸ μέσον ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.

и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́тше кꙋдѣ̀ внестѝ є҆го̀ наро́да ра́ди, взлѣ́зше на хра́мъ, сквозѣ̀ скꙋде́лы {кро́въ скꙋде́льный} низвѣ́сиша є҆го̀ со ѻ҆дро́мъ на средꙋ̀ пред̾ і҆и҃са.

20

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν πίστιν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἄνθρωπε, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.

И҆ ви́дѣвъ вѣ́рꙋ и҆́хъ, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: человѣ́че, ѡ҆ставлѧ́юттисѧ грѣсѝ твоѝ.

21

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

καὶ ἤρξαντο διαλογίζεσθαι οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες· τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὃς λαλεῖ βλασφημίας· τίς δύναται ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας εἰ μὴ μόνος ὁ Θεός;

И҆ нача́ша помышлѧ́ти кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є, глаго́люще: кто̀ є҆́сть се́й, и҆́же гл҃етъ хꙋлы̑; кто̀ мо́жетъ ѡ҆ставлѧ́ти грѣхѝ, то́кмѡ є҆ди́нъ бг҃ъ;

22

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

ἐπιγνοὺς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί διαλογίζεσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;

Разꙋмѣ́въ же і҆и҃съ помышлє́нїѧ и҆́хъ, ѿвѣща́въ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: что̀ помышлѧ́ете въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ;

23

Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

τί ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν, ἀφέωνταί σοι αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου, ἢ εἰπεῖν, ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει;

что̀ є҆́сть ᲂу҆до́бѣе рещѝ: ѡ҆ставлѧ́юттисѧ грѣсѝ твоѝ; и҆лѝ рещѝ: воста́ни и҆ ходѝ;

24

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

ἵνα δὲ εἰδῆτε ὅτι ἐξουσίαν ἔχει ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας —–εἶπε τῷ παραλελυμένῳ· σοὶ λέγω, ἔγειρε καὶ ἄρας τὸ κλινίδιόν σου πορεύου εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου.

но да ᲂу҆вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ вла́сть и҆́мать сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй на землѝ ѿпꙋща́ти грѣхѝ, речѐ разсла́бленномꙋ: тебѣ̀ гл҃ю: воста́ни, и҆ возмѝ ѻ҆́дръ тво́й, и҆ и҆дѝ въ до́мъ тво́й.

25

And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀναστὰς ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, ἄρας ἐφ᾿ ὃ κατέκειτο ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν.

И҆ а҆́бїе воста́въ пред̾ ни́ми, взе́мъ, на не́мже лежа́ше, и҆́де въ до́мъ сво́й, сла́вѧ бг҃а.

26

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

καὶ ἔκστασις ἔλαβεν ἅπαντας καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν Θεόν, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν φόβου λέγοντες ὅτι εἴδομεν παράδοξα σήμερον.

И҆ ᲂу҆́жасъ прїѧ́тъ всѣ́хъ, и҆ сла́влѧхꙋ бг҃а: и҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ стра́ха, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ви́дѣхомъ пресла̑внаѧ дне́сь.
