Romans § 109
members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another… Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” saith the Lord. “Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Corinthians 4:9–16 (Apostles) § 131
Apostles
Brethren, I think that God has shown us, the Apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle unto the world, both to Angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, but we are despised! To the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and beaten, and homeless. And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel. Therefore I beseech you, to follow me.
Matthew 12.9-13
§ 45
Matthew 12.9-13 § 45
And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐκεῖ τὴν χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν· καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· εἰ ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασι θεραπεύειν; ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
И҆ сѐ, человѣ́къ бѣ̀ тꙋ̀, рꙋ́кꙋ и҆мы́й сꙋ́хꙋ. И҆ вопроси́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: а҆́ще досто́итъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты цѣли́ти; да на него̀ возглаго́лютъ.
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τίς ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ;
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: кто̀ є҆́сть ѿ ва́съ человѣ́къ, и҆́же и҆́мать ѻ҆вча̀ є҆ди́но, и҆ а҆́ще впаде́тъ сїѐ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты въ ꙗ҆́мꙋ, не и҆́метъ ли є҆̀ и҆ и҆́зметъ;
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
πόσῳ οὖν διαφέρει ἄνθρωπος προβάτου; ὥστε ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασι καλῶς ποιεῖν.
кольмѝ ᲂу҆̀бо лꙋ́чши є҆́сть человѣ́къ ѻ҆вча́те; тѣ́мже досто́итъ въ сꙋббѡ̑ты добро̀ твори́ти.
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· ἔκτεινόν σου τὴν χεῖρα· καὶ ἐξέτεινε, καὶ ἀποκατεστάθη ὑγιὴς ὡς ἡ ἄλλη.
Тогда̀ гл҃а человѣ́кꙋ: прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀. И҆ прострѐ: и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ цѣла̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ дрꙋга́ѧ.
Mark 3.13-19 (Apostles) § 12
Apostles
And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
Καὶ ἀναβαίνει εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ προσκαλεῖται οὓς ἤθελεν αὐτός, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν.
[Заⷱ҇ 12] И҆ взы́де на горꙋ̀ и҆ призва̀, и҆̀хже хотѧ́ше са́мъ: и҆ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀.
And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
καὶ ἐποίησε δώδεκα, ἵνα ὦσι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν
И҆ сотворѝ двана́десѧте, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ съ ни́мъ, и҆ да посыла́етъ и҆̀хъ проповѣ́дати,
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
καὶ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν θεραπεύειν τὰς νόσους καὶ ἐκβάλλειν τὰ δαιμόνια·
и҆ и҆мѣ́ти вла́сть цѣли́ти недꙋ́ги и҆ и҆згони́ти бѣ́сы:
And Simon he surnamed Peter;
καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὄνομα τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρον,
и҆ наречѐ сі́мѡнꙋ и҆́мѧ пе́тръ:
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ Ἰακώβου· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὀνόματα Βοανεργές, ὅ ἐστιν υἱοὶ βροντῆς·
и҆ і҆а́кѡва зеведе́ова и҆ і҆ѡа́нна бра́та і҆а́кѡвлѧ: и҆ наречѐ и҆́ма и҆мена̀ воанерге́съ, є҆́же є҆́сть сы̑на гро́мѡва:
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
καὶ Ἀνδρέαν καὶ Φίλιππον καὶ Βαρθολομαῖον καὶ Ματθαῖον καὶ Θωμᾶν καὶ Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ἀλφαίου καὶ Θαδδαῖον καὶ Σίμωνα τὸν Κανανίτην
и҆ а҆ндре́а, и҆ фїлі́ппа, и҆ варѳоломе́а, и҆ матѳе́а, и҆ ѳѡмꙋ̀, и҆ і҆а́кѡва а҆лфе́ова, и҆ ѳадде́а, и҆ сі́мѡна канані́та,
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
καὶ Ἰούδαν Ἰσκαριώτην, ὃς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν.
и҆ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ і҆скарїѡ́тскаго, и҆́же и҆ предадѐ є҆го̀.
