1 Timothy 1:1–7 § 278

1 Timothy 1:1–7 § 278

Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope, unto Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. As I urged you when I went into Macedónia, remain in Éphesus that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. Now the purpose of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside unto vain chattering, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor the things which they affirm.

Galatians 5:22–6:2 § 213 (St Alexander)

Galatians 5:22–6:2 (St Alexander) § 213

St Alexander

Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another… Brethren, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual restore, such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted… Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ…

Luke 17.20-25 § 86

Luke 17.20-25 § 86

20

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,

[Заⷱ҇ 86] Вопроше́нъ же бы́въ ѿ фарїсє́й, когда̀ прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе, ѿвѣща́въ и҆̀мъ речѐ: не прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе съ соблюде́нїемъ {со ᲂу҆смотре́нїемъ}:

21

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.

нижѐ рекꙋ́тъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: ѻ҆́ндѣ. Се́ бо, црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе внꙋ́трь ва́съ є҆́сть.

22

And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.

Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ (свои̑мъ): прїи́дꙋтъ дні́е, є҆гда̀ вожделѣ́ете є҆ди́нагѡ днѐ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческагѡ ви́дѣти, и҆ не ᲂу҆́зрите:

23

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.

и҆ рекꙋ́тъ ва́мъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: сѐ, ѻ҆́ндѣ: не и҆зы́дите, ни пожени́те:

24

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.

ꙗ҆́кѡ бо мо́лнїѧ блиста́ющисѧ ѿ поднебе́сныѧ на поднебе́снѣй свѣ́титсѧ: та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй въ де́нь сво́й.

25

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.

Пре́жде же подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ мно́гѡ пострада́ти и҆ и҆скꙋше́нꙋ {ѿве́рженꙋ} бы́ти ѿ ро́да сегѡ̀.

Matthew 11.27-30 § 43 (St Alexander)

Matthew 11.27-30 (St Alexander) § 43

St Alexander

27

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιγινώσκει τὸν υἱὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ, οὐδὲ τὸν πατέρα τις ἐπιγινώσκει εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν βούληται ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.

[Заⷱ҇ 43] Всѧ̑ мнѣ̀ прє́дана сꙋ́ть ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ мои́мъ: и҆ никто́же зна́етъ сн҃а, то́кмѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ: ни ѻ҆ц҃а̀ кто̀ зна́етъ, то́кмѡ сн҃ъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще во́литъ сн҃ъ ѿкры́ти.

28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Δεῦτε πρός με πάντες οἱ κοπιῶντες καὶ πεφορτισμένοι, κἀγὼ ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς.

Прїиди́те ко мнѣ̀ всѝ трꙋжда́ющїисѧ и҆ ѡ҆бремене́ннїи, и҆ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆поко́ю вы̀:

29

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

ἄρατε τὸν ζυγόν μου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ μάθετε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ὅτι πρᾷός εἰμι καὶ ταπεινὸς τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ εὑρήσετε ἀνάπαυσιν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν·

возми́те и҆́го моѐ на себѐ и҆ наꙋчи́тесѧ ѿ менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ кро́токъ є҆́смь и҆ смире́нъ срⷣцемъ: и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щете поко́й дꙋша́мъ ва́шымъ:

30

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

ὁ γὰρ ζυγός μου χρηστὸς καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν ἐστιν.

и҆́го бо моѐ бл҃го, и҆ бре́мѧ моѐ легко̀ є҆́сть.
