Philippians 2:12–16
§ 241
Philippians 2:12–16 § 241
Brethren, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without murmuring and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day 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 10.22-24
§ 52
Luke 10.22-24 § 52
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εἶπε· πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπιγινώσκει τίς ἐστιν ὁ υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ, εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς καὶ ᾧ ἐὰν βούληται ὁ υἱὸς ἀποκαλύψαι.
И҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, речѐ: всѧ̑ мнѣ̀ прє́дана бы́ша ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀: и҆ никто́же вѣ́сть, кто̀ є҆́сть сн҃ъ, то́кмѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ: и҆ кто̀ є҆́сть ѻ҆ц҃ъ, то́кмѡ сн҃ъ, и҆ є҆мꙋ́же а҆́ще хо́щетъ сн҃ъ ѿкры́ти.
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Καὶ στραφεὶς πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς κατ᾿ ἰδίαν εἶπε· μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε.
[Заⷱ҇ 52] И҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, є҆ди́нъ {ѡ҆со́бь} речѐ: бл҃же́ни ѻ҆́чи ви́дѧщїи, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дите:
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ βασιλεῖς ἠθέλησαν ἰδεῖν ἃ ὑμεῖς βλέπετε, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἃ ἀκούετε, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
гл҃ю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи прⷪ҇ро́цы и҆ ца́рїе восхотѣ́ша ви́дѣти, ꙗ҆̀же вы̀ ви́дите, и҆ не ви́дѣша: и҆ слы́шати, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шите, и҆ не слы́шаша.
