Ephesians 1:22–2:3 § 219

Ephesians 1:22–2:3 § 219

Brethren, God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all … And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the others.

Luke 3.19-22 § 10

Luke 3.19-22 § 10

19

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης, ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ περὶ Ἡρῳδιάδος τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησε πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης,

[Заⷱ҇ 10] И҆́рѡдъ же четвертовла́стникъ, ѡ҆блича́емь ѿ негѡ̀ ѡ҆ и҆рѡдїа́дѣ женѣ̀ бра́та своегѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ ѕла̑ѧ и҆́рѡдъ,

20

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

προσέθηκε καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ πᾶσι καὶ κατέκλεισε τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

приложѝ и҆ сїѐ над̾ всѣ́ми, и҆ затворѝ і҆ѡа́нна въ темни́цѣ.

21

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ βαπτισθῆναι ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ Ἰησοῦ βαπτισθέντος καὶ προσευχομένου ἀνεῳχθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ крⷭ҇ти́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе, и҆ і҆и҃сꙋ кр҃щшꙋсѧ и҆ молѧ́щꙋсѧ, ѿве́рзесѧ не́бо,

22

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

καὶ καταβῆναι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον σωματικῷ εἴδει ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ φωνὴν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ γενέσθαι λέγουσαν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.

и҆ сни́де дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й тѣле́снымъ ѡ҆́бразомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбь, на́нь: и҆ гла́съ съ небесѐ бы́сть, гл҃ѧ: ты̀ є҆сѝ сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ бл҃говоли́хъ.
