Ephesians 4:17–25
§ 226
Ephesians 4:17–25 § 226
Brethren, this I say and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and true holiness … Therefore, putting away lying, each one speak truth with his neighbor …
Luke 7.31-35
§ 32
Luke 7.31-35 § 32
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι;
[Заⷱ҇ 32] Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆подо́блю человѣ́ки ро́да сегѡ̀, и҆ комꙋ̀ сꙋ́ть подо́бни;
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
ὅμοιοί εἰσι παιδίοις τοῖς ἐν ἀγορᾷ καθημένοις καὶ προσφωνοῦσιν ἀλλήλοις καὶ λέγουσιν· ηὐλήσαμεν ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὠρχήσασθε, ἐθρηνήσαμεν ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἐκλαύσατε.
Подо́бни сꙋ́ть ѻ҆́трочищємъ сѣдѧ́щымъ на то́ржищихъ и҆ приглаша́ющымъ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, и҆ глаго́лющымъ: писка́хомъ ва́мъ, и҆ не плѧса́сте: рыда́хомъ ва́мъ, и҆ не пла́касте.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
ἐλήλυθε γὰρ Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς μήτε ἄρτον ἐσθίων μήτε οἶνον πίνων, καὶ λέγετε· δαιμόνιον ἔχει.
Прїи́де бо і҆ѡа́ннъ крⷭ҇ти́тель ни хлѣ́ба ꙗ҆ды́й, ни вїна̀ пїѧ̀, и҆ глаго́лете: бѣ́са и҆́мать.
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
ἐλήλυθεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγετε· ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης, φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν.
Прїи́де сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй ꙗ҆ды́й и҆ пїѧ̀, и҆ глаго́лете: се́й человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́дца и҆ вїнопі́йца, дрꙋ́гъ мытарє́мъ и҆ грѣ́шникѡмъ.
But wisdom is justified of all her children.
καὶ ἐδικαιώθη ἡ σοφία ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς πάντων.
И҆ ѡ҆правди́сѧ премꙋ́дрость ѿ ча̑дъ свои́хъ всѣ́хъ.
