Galatians 4:28–5:10
§ 211
Galatians 4:28–5:10 § 211
Brethren, we, as was Isaac, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free… Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say unto you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works through love. You ran well, [but] who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Luke 4.37-44
§ 16
Luke 4.37-44 § 16
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
Ἀναστὰς δὲ ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος. πενθερὰ δὲ τοῦ Σίμωνος ἦν συνεχομένη πυρετῷ μεγάλῳ, καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν περὶ αὐτῆς.
Воста́въ же и҆з̾ со́нмища, вни́де въ до́мъ сі́мѡновъ: те́ща же сі́мѡнова бѣ̀ ѡ҆держи́ма ѻ҆гне́мъ ве́лїимъ: и҆ моли́ша є҆го̀ ѡ҆ не́й.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
καὶ ἐπιστὰς ἐπάνω αὐτῆς ἐπετίμησε τῷ πυρετῷ, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτήν· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἀναστᾶσα διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
И҆ ста́въ над̾ не́ю, запретѝ ѻ҆гню̀, и҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ю҆̀. А҆́бїе же воста́вши слꙋжа́ше и҆̀мъ.
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Δύνοντος δὲ τοῦ ἡλίου πάντες ὅσοι εἶχον ἀσθενοῦντας νόσοις ποικίλαις ἤγαγον αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτόν· ὁ δὲ ἑνὶ ἑκάστῳ αὐτῶν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιτιθεὶς ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς.
Заходѧ́щꙋ же со́лнцꙋ, всѝ, є҆ли́цы и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ болѧ́щыѧ недꙋ̑ги разли́чными, привожда́хꙋ и҆̀хъ къ немꙋ̀: ѻ҆́нъ же на є҆ди́наго коего́ждо и҆́хъ рꙋ́цѣ возло́жь, и҆сцѣлѧ́ше и҆̀хъ.
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
ἐξήρχετο δὲ καὶ δαιμόνια ἀπὸ πολλῶν κραυγάζοντα καὶ λέγοντα ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ. καὶ ἐπιτιμῶν οὐκ εἴα αὐτὰ λαλεῖν, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν τὸν Χριστὸν αὐτὸν εἶναι.
И҆схожда́хꙋ же и҆ бѣ́си ѿ мно́гихъ, вопїю́ще и҆ глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ хрⷭ҇то́съ сн҃ъ бж҃їй. И҆ запреща́ѧ не даѧ́ше и҆̀мъ глаго́лати, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́дѧхꙋ хрⷭ҇та̀ самаго̀ сꙋ́ща.
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη εἰς ἔρημον τόπον· καὶ οἱ ὄχλοι ἐπεζήτουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἦλθον ἕως αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεῖχον αὐτὸν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν.
Бы́вшꙋ же дню̀, и҆зше́дъ и҆́де въ пꙋ́сто мѣ́сто: и҆ наро́ди и҆ска́хꙋ є҆го̀, и҆ прїидо́ша къ немꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆держава́хꙋ є҆го̀, дабы̀ не ѿше́лъ ѿ ни́хъ.
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὅτι καὶ ταῖς ἑτέραις πόλεσιν εὐαγγελίσασθαί με δεῖ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ· ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο ἀπέσταλμαι.
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ дрꙋги̑мъ градовѡ́мъ бл҃говѣсти́ти мѝ подоба́етъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе: ꙗ҆́кѡ на сѐ по́сланъ є҆́смь.
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
καὶ ἦν κηρύσσων εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
И҆ бѣ̀ проповѣ́даѧ на со́нмищихъ галїле́йскихъ.
