Titus 1:5–2:1 § 300ctr

Titus 1:5–2:1 § 300ctr

My son Titus, For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you: if a man be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not being profligate or insubordinate. For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober, just, holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. For there are many insubordinate, both vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision: whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth… Unto the pure all things are pure, but unto those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate… But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine …

Mark 12.38-44 § 57

Mark 12.38-44 § 57

38

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ· βλέπετε ἀπὸ τῶν γραμματέων τῶν θελόντων ἐν στολαῖς περιπατεῖν καὶ ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς

[Заⷱ҇ 57] И҆ гл҃аше и҆̀мъ во ᲂу҆ч҃нїи свое́мъ: блюди́тесѧ ѿ кни̑жникъ, хотѧ́щихъ во ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїихъ ходи́ти, и҆ цѣлова̑нїѧ на то́ржищихъ,

39

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

καὶ πρωτοκαθεδρίας ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ πρωτοκλισίας ἐν τοῖς δείπνοις.

и҆ преждесѣда̑нїѧ на со́нмищихъ, и҆ первовозлежа̑нїѧ на ве́черѧхъ:

40

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

οἱ κατεσθίοντες τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρὰ προσευχόμενοι, οὗτοι λήψονται περισσότερον κρῖμα.

поѧда́юще до́мы вдови́цъ и҆ непщева́нїемъ надо́лзѣ молѧ́щесѧ, сі́и прїи́мꙋтъ ли́шшее ѡ҆сꙋжде́нїе.

41

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

Καὶ καθίσας ὁ Ἰησοῦς κατέναντι τοῦ γαζοφυλακίου ἐθεώρει πῶς ὁ ὄχλος βάλλει χαλκὸν εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον.

И҆ сѣ́дъ і҆и҃съ прѧ́мѡ сокро́вищномꙋ храни́лищꙋ, зрѧ́ше, ка́кѡ наро́дъ ме́щетъ мѣ́дь въ сокро́вищное храни́лище. И҆ мно́зи бога́тїи вмета́хꙋ мнѡ́га.

42

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

καὶ πολλοὶ πλούσιοι ἔβαλλον πολλά· καὶ ἐλθοῦσα μία χήρα πτωχὴ ἔβαλε λεπτὰ δύο, ὅ ἐστι κοδράντης.

И҆ прише́дши є҆ди́на вдови́ца ᲂу҆бо́га, вве́рже лє́птѣ двѣ̀, є҆́же є҆́сть кодра́нтъ.

43

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἡ χήρα ἡ πτωχὴ αὕτη πλεῖον πάντων ἔβαλε τῶν βαλλόντων εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον·

И҆ призва́въ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вдови́ца сїѧ̀ ᲂу҆бо́гаѧ мно́жае всѣ́хъ вве́рже вмета́ющихъ въ сокро́вищное храни́лище:

44

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

πάντες γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ περισσεύοντος αὐτοῖς ἔβαλον· αὕτη δὲ ἐκ τῆς ὑστερήσεως αὐτῆς πάντα ὅσα εἶχεν ἔβαλεν, ὅλον τὸν βίον αὐτῆς.

вси́ бо ѿ и҆збы́тка своегѡ̀ вверго́ша: сїѧ́ же ѿ лише́нїѧ своегѡ̀ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆мѣ́ѧше, вве́рже, всѐ житїѐ своѐ.
