2 Timothy 2:20–26
§ 294
2 Timothy 2:20–26 § 294
My son Timothy, in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle unto all men, able to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God perhaps will grant them repentance, to the acknowledgment of the truth, and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
Luke 20.27-44
§ 102
Luke 20.27-44 § 102
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
Προσελθόντες δέ τινες τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, οἱ λέγοντες μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν, ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν
[Заⷱ҇ 102] Пристꙋпи́ша же нѣ́цыи ѿ саддꙋкє́й, глаго́лющїи воскрⷭ҇нїю не бы́ти, вопроша́хꙋ є҆го̀,
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, Μωϋσῆς ἔγραψεν ἡμῖν, ἐάν τινος ἀδελφὸς ἀποθάνῃ ἔχων γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἄτεκνος ἀποθάνῃ, ἵνα λάβῃ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξαναστήσῃ σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.
глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, мѡѷсе́й написа̀ на́мъ: а҆́ще комꙋ̀ бра́тъ ᲂу҆́мретъ и҆мы́й женꙋ̀, и҆ то́й безча́денъ ᲂу҆́мретъ, да бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ по́йметъ женꙋ̀ и҆ возста́витъ сѣ́мѧ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀:
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
ἑπτὰ οὖν ἀδελφοὶ ἦσαν· καὶ ὁ πρῶτος λαβὼν γυναῖκα ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
се́дмь ᲂу҆̀бо бра́тїй бѣ̀: и҆ пе́рвый поѧ́тъ женꙋ̀, ᲂу҆́мре безча́денъ:
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ δεύτερος τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ οὗτος ἀπέθανεν ἄτεκνος·
и҆ поѧ́тъ вторы́й женꙋ̀, и҆ то́й ᲂу҆́мре безча́денъ:
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
καὶ ὁ τρίτος ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν ὡσαύτως· ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἑπτά· οὐ κατέλιπον τέκνα, καὶ ἀπέθανον·
и҆ тре́тїй поѧ́тъ ю҆̀: та́кожде же и҆ всѝ се́дмь: и҆ не ѡ҆ста́виша ча̑дъ и҆ ᲂу҆мро́ша:
Last of all the woman died also.
ὕστερον δὲ πάντων καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἀπέθανεν.
по́слѣжде же всѣ́хъ ᲂу҆́мре и҆ жена̀:
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει οὖν τίνος αὐτῶν γίνεται γυνή; οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα.
въ воскрⷭ҇нїе ᲂу҆̀бо, кото́рагѡ и҆́хъ бꙋ́детъ жена̀; се́дмь бо и҆мѣ́ша ю҆̀ женꙋ̀.
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου γαμοῦσι καὶ ἐκγαμίζονται·
И҆ ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: сы́нове вѣ́ка сегѡ̀ же́нѧтсѧ и҆ посѧга́ютъ:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
οἱ δὲ καταξιωθέντες τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται·
а҆ сподо́бльшїисѧ вѣ́къ ѡ҆́нъ ᲂу҆лꙋчи́ти и҆ воскрⷭ҇нїе, є҆́же ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, ни же́нѧтсѧ, ни посѧга́ютъ:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
οὔτε γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν ἔτι δύνανται· ἰσάγγελοι γάρ εἰσι καὶ υἱοί εἰσι τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῆς ἀναστάσεως υἱοὶ ὄντες.
ни ᲂу҆мре́ти бо ктомꙋ̀ мо́гꙋтъ: ра́вни бо сꙋ́ть а҆́гг҃лѡмъ и҆ сн҃ове сꙋ́ть бж҃їи, воскрⷭ҇нїѧ сн҃ове сꙋ́ще:
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
ὅτι δὲ ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, καὶ Μωϋσῆς ἐμήνυσεν ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου, ὡς λέγει Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ τὸν Θεὸν Ἰακώβ.
а҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ востаю́тъ ме́ртвїи, и҆ мѡѷсе́й сказа̀ при кꙋпинѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́летъ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а а҆враа́млѧ и҆ бг҃а і҆саа́кова и҆ бг҃а і҆а́кѡвлѧ:
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Θεὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔστι νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν.
бг҃ъ же нѣ́сть ме́ртвыхъ, но живы́хъ: вси́ бо томꙋ̀ жи́ви сꙋ́ть.
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
ἀποκριθέντες δέ τινες τῶν γραμματέων εἶπον· διδάσκαλε, καλῶς εἶπας.
Ѿвѣща́вше же нѣ́цыи ѿ кни̑жникъ реко́ша: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, до́брѣ ре́клъ є҆сѝ.
And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
οὐκέτι δὲ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.
Ктомꙋ́ же не смѣ́ѧхꙋ є҆го̀ вопроси́ти ничесѡ́же. Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ:
And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· πῶς λέγουσι τὸν Χριστὸν υἱὸν Δαυῒδ εἶναι;
ка́кѡ глаго́лютъ хрⷭ҇та̀ сн҃а дв҃дова бы́ти;
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
καὶ αὐτὸς Δαυῒδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ τῶν ψαλμῶν· εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
Са́мъ бо дв҃дъ глаго́летъ въ кни́зѣ ѱало́мстѣй: речѐ гдⷭ҇ь гдⷭ҇еви моемꙋ̀: сѣдѝ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю менє̀,
Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.
до́ндеже положꙋ̀ врагѝ твоѧ̑ подно́жїе нога́ма твои́ма.
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Δαυῒδ οὖν αὐτὸν Κύριον καλεῖ· καὶ πῶς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐστιν;
Дв҃дъ ᲂу҆̀бо гдⷭ҇а є҆го̀ нарица́етъ, и҆ ка́кѡ сн҃ъ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆́сть;
