1 Timothy 1:8–14
§ 279
1 Timothy 1:8–14 § 279
My son Timothy, we know that the law is good if a man uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust… And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus…
Luke 17.26-37
§ 87
Luke 17.26-37 § 87
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
καὶ καθὼς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νῶε οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου·
[Заⷱ҇ 87] И҆ ꙗ҆́коже бы́сть во дни̑ нѡ́євы, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆ во дни̑ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческа:
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἐγάμουν, ἐξεγαμίζοντο, ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας εἰσῆλθε ὁ Νῶε εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ κατακλυσμὸς καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ, пїѧ́хꙋ, женѧ́хꙋсѧ, посѧга́хꙋ, до негѡ́же днѐ вни́де нѡ́е въ ковче́гъ: и҆ прїи́де пото́пъ и҆ погꙋбѝ всѧ̑.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
ὁμοίως καὶ ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Λώτ· ἤσθιον, ἔπινον, ἠγόραζον, ἐπώλουν, ἐφύτευον, ᾠκοδόμουν·
Та́кожде и҆ ꙗ҆́коже бы́сть во дни̑ лѡ́тѡвы: ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ, пїѧ́хꙋ, кꙋпова́хꙋ, продаѧ́хꙋ, сажда́хꙋ, зда́хꙋ:
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
ᾗ δὲ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξῆλθε Λὼτ ἀπὸ Σοδόμων, ἔβρεξε πῦρ καὶ θεῖον ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἅπαντας.
во́ньже де́нь и҆зы́де лѡ́тъ ѿ содо́млѧнъ, ѡ҆дождѝ ка́мыкъ горѧ́щь и҆ ѻ҆́гнь съ небесѐ и҆ погꙋбѝ всѧ̑:
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔσται ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἀποκαλύπτεται.
по томꙋ́ же бꙋ́детъ и҆ въ де́нь, во́ньже сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ.
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὃς ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, μὴ καταβάτω ἆραι αὐτά, καὶ ὁ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ὁμοίως μὴ ἐπιστρεψάτω εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
Въ то́й де́нь, и҆́же бꙋ́детъ на кро́вѣ, и҆ сосꙋ́ди є҆гѡ̀ въ домꙋ̀, да не сла́зитъ взѧ́ти и҆̀хъ: и҆ и҆́же на селѣ̀, та́кожде да не возврати́тсѧ вспѧ́ть:
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ αὐτήν, ζωογονήσει αὐτήν.
И҆́же а҆́ще взы́щетъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ спастѝ, погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀, живи́тъ ю҆̀.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
λέγω ὑμῖν, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ δύο ἔσονται ἐπὶ κλίνης μιᾶς, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται·
Гл҃ю ва́мъ: въ тꙋ̀ но́щь бꙋ́дета два̀ на ѻ҆дрѣ̀ є҆ди́нѣмъ: є҆ди́нъ пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋгі́й ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ:
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
δύο ἔσονται ἀλήθουσαι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, μία παραληφθήσεται καὶ ἡ ἑτέρα ἀφεθήσεται·
бꙋ́детѣ двѣ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ ме́лющѣ: є҆ди́на пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋга́ѧ ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, εἷς παραληφθήσεται καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἀφεθήσεται.
Два̀ бꙋ́дета на селѣ̀: є҆ди́нъ пое́млетсѧ, а҆ дрꙋгі́й ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ.
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται καὶ οἱ ἀετοί.
И҆ ѿвѣща́вше глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: гдѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆дѣ́же тѣ́ло, та́мѡ соберꙋ́тсѧ и҆ ѻ҆рлѝ.
