Philippians 1:20–27
§ 238
Philippians 1:20–27 § 238
Brethren, in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again… Only let your conduct be worthy of the Gospel of Christ …
2 Corinthians 9:6–11 (Hilarion) § 188
Hilarion
Brethren, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. So let each man give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He hath dispersed abroad, He hath given to the poor; His righteousness remains forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
Luke 9.49-56
§ 48
Luke 9.49-56 § 48
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν· ἐπιστάτα, εἴδομέν τινα ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, καὶ ἐκωλύσαμεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν.
[Заⷱ҇ 48] Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆ѡа́ннъ речѐ: наста́вниче, ви́дѣхомъ нѣ́коего ѡ҆ и҆́мени твое́мъ и҆згонѧ́ща бѣ́сы: и҆ возбрани́хомъ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ в̾слѣ́дъ не хо́дитъ съ на́ми.
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ κωλύετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστι καθ᾿ ὑμῶν· ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι καθ᾿ ὑμῶν, ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: не брани́те: и҆́же бо нѣ́сть на вы̀, по ва́съ є҆́сть.
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐστήριξε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,
[Заⷱ҇] Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ скончава́хꙋсѧ дні́е восхожде́нїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ то́й ᲂу҆твердѝ лицѐ своѐ и҆тѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ:
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσῆλθον εἰς κώμην Σαμαρειτῶν, ὥστε ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτῷ·
и҆ посла̀ вѣ́стники пред̾ лице́мъ свои́мъ: и҆ и҆зше́дше внидо́ша въ ве́сь самарѧ́нскꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ᲂу҆гото́вѧтъ є҆мꙋ̀:
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
καὶ οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
и҆ не прїѧ́ша є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ бѣ̀ грѧдꙋ́щее во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης εἶπον· Κύριε, θέλεις εἴπωμεν πῦρ καταβῆναι ἀπὸ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀναλῶσαι αὐτούς, ὡς καὶ Ἠλίας ἐποίησε;
Ви̑дѣвша же ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ, рѣ́ста: гдⷭ҇и, хо́щеши ли, рече́ма, да ѻ҆́гнь сни́детъ съ небесѐ и҆ потреби́тъ и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ и҆лїа̀ сотворѝ;
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ οἴδατε ποίου πνεύματός ἐστε ὑμεῖς·
Ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ же запретѝ и҆́ма, и҆ речѐ: не вѣ́ста, ко́егѡ дꙋ́ха є҆ста̀ вы̀:
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθε ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέσαι, ἀλλὰ σῶσαι. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην.
сн҃ъ бо чл҃вѣ́ческїй не прїи́де дꙋ́шъ человѣ́ческихъ погꙋби́ти, но спⷭ҇тѝ. И҆ и҆до́ша во и҆́нꙋ ве́сь.
