Philippians 1:12–20
§ 237
Philippians 1:12–20 § 237
Brethren, I want you to know that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the Gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear… Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: The one preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the other out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. For I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope …
Luke 6.46-7.1

Luke 6.46-7.1 § 28
Chapter 6
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Τί δέ με καλεῖτε Κύριε Κύριε, καὶ οὐ ποιεῖτε ἃ λέγω;
[Заⷱ҇ 28] Что́ же мѧ̀ зоветѐ: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, и҆ не творитѐ, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃ю;
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
πᾶς ὁ ἐρχόμενος πρός με καὶ ἀκούων μου τῶν λόγων καὶ ποιῶν αὐτούς, ὑποδείξω ὑμῖν τίνι ἐστὶν ὅμοιος·
Всѧ́къ грѧды́й ко мнѣ̀ и҆ слы́шай словеса̀ моѧ̑ и҆ творѧ̀ ѧ҆̀, скажꙋ̀ ва́мъ, комꙋ̀ є҆́сть подо́бенъ:
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομοῦντι οἰκίαν, ὃς καὶ ἔσκαψε καὶ ἐβάθυνε καὶ ἔθηκε θεμέλιον ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν· πλημμύρας δὲ γενομένης προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμὸς τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσε σαλεῦσαι αὐτήν· τεθεμελίωτο γὰρ ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν.
подо́бенъ є҆́сть человѣ́кꙋ зи́ждꙋщꙋ хра́минꙋ, и҆́же и҆скопа̀ и҆ ᲂу҆глꙋбѝ, и҆ положѝ ѡ҆снова́нїе на ка́мени: наводне́нїю же бы́вшꙋ, припадѐ рѣка̀ ко хра́минѣ то́й, и҆ не мо́же поколеба́ти є҆ѧ̀: ѡ҆снована́ бо бѣ̀ на ка́мени.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας καὶ μὴ ποιήσας ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομήσαντι οἰκίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν χωρὶς θεμελίου· ᾗ προσέρρηξεν ὁ ποταμός, καὶ εὐθὺς ἔπεσε, καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ρῆγμα τῆς οἰκίας ἐκείνης μέγα.
Слы́шавый же и҆ не сотвори́вый подо́бенъ є҆́сть человѣ́кꙋ созда́вшемꙋ хра́минꙋ на землѝ без̾ ѡ҆снова́нїѧ: къ не́йже припадѐ рѣка̀, и҆ а҆́бїе паде́сѧ, и҆ бы́сть разрꙋше́нїе хра́мины тоѧ̀ ве́лїе.
Chapter 7
NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐπλήρωσε πάντα τὰ ρήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Καπερναούμ.
Є҆гда́ же сконча̀ всѧ̑ гл҃го́лы своѧ̑ въ слꙋ́хи лю́демъ, [Заⷱ҇ 29] вни́де въ капернаꙋ́мъ.
