Philippians 4:10–23

Philippians 4:10–23 § 248
Brethren, I rejoiced greatly in the Lord, that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my affliction. Now you Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedónia, no Church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but only you. For even in Thessaloníca you sent aid once and again unto my necessities. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphrodítus the things which were sent from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, but especially those who are of Cæsar’s household. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Luke 11.29-33
§ 59
Luke 11.29-33 § 59
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Τῶν δὲ ὄχλων ἐπαθροιζομένων ἤρξατο λέγειν· ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη γενεὰ πονηρά ἐστι· σημεῖον ζητεῖ, καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτῇ εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου.
[Заⷱ҇ 59] Наро́дѡмъ же собира́ющымсѧ нача́тъ гл҃ати: ро́дъ се́й лꙋка́въ є҆́сть: зна́менїѧ и҆́щетъ, и҆ зна́менїе не да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀, то́кмѡ зна́менїе і҆ѡ́ны прⷪ҇ро́ка:
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
καθὼς γὰρ ἐγένετο Ἰωνᾶς σημεῖον τοῖς Νινευΐταις, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ σημεῖον.
ꙗ҆́коже бо бы́сть і҆ѡ́на зна́менїе нїнеѵі́тѡмъ, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ и҆ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй ро́дꙋ семꙋ̀.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
βασίλισσα νότου ἐγερθήσεται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινεῖ αὐτούς, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἐκ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς ἀκοῦσαι τὴν σοφίαν Σολομῶντος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Σολομῶντος ὧδε.
Цари́ца ю҆́жскаѧ воста́нетъ на сꙋ́дъ съ мꙋ̑жи ро́да сегѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆сꙋ́дитъ и҆̀хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де ѿ конє́цъ землѝ слы́шати премꙋ́дрость соломѡ́новꙋ: и҆ сѐ мно́жае соломѡ́на здѣ̀.
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
ἄνδρες Νινευῒ ἀναστήσονται ἐν τῇ κρίσει μετὰ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτήν, ὅτι μετενόησαν εἰς τὸ κήρυγμα Ἰωνᾶ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πλεῖον Ἰωνᾶ ὧδε.
Мꙋ́жїе нїнеѵі́тстїи воста́нꙋтъ на сꙋ́дъ съ ро́домъ си́мъ и҆ ѡ҆сꙋ́дѧтъ и҆̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ пока́ѧшасѧ про́повѣдїю і҆ѡ́ниною: и҆ сѐ, мно́жае і҆ѡ́ны здѣ̀.
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας εἰς κρυπτὴν τίθησιν οὐδὲ ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι τὸ φέγγος βλέπωσιν.
Никто́же (ᲂу҆́бѡ) свѣти́льника вже́гъ, въ скро́вѣ полага́етъ, ни под̾ спꙋ́домъ, но на свѣ́щницѣ, да входѧ́щїи свѣ́тъ ви́дѧтъ.
