Divine Liturgy
1 Thessalonians 5:14–23
§ 273
1 Thessalonians 5:14–23 § 273
Brethren, we exhort you, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves, and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast that what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…
Luke 16.10-15
§ 81
Luke 16.10-15 § 81
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
ὁ πιστὸς ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ πιστός ἐστι, καὶ ὁ ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ ἄδικος καὶ ἐν πολλῷ ἄδικός ἐστιν.
[Заⷱ҇ 81] Вѣ́рный въ ма́лѣ, и҆ во мно́зѣ вѣ́ренъ є҆́сть: и҆ непра́ведный въ ма́лѣ, и҆ во мно́зѣ непра́веденъ є҆́сть.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει;
А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо въ непра́веднѣмъ и҆мѣ́нїи вѣ́рни не бы́сте, во и҆́стиннѣмъ кто̀ ва́мъ вѣ́рꙋ и҆́метъ;
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
καὶ εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει;
И҆ а҆́ще въ чꙋже́мъ вѣ́рни не бы́сте, ва́ше кто̀ ва́мъ да́стъ;
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
οὐδεὶς οἰκέτης δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. οὐ δύνασθε Θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.
Никі́й же ра́бъ мо́жетъ двѣма̀ господи́нома рабо́тати: и҆́бо и҆лѝ є҆ди́наго возненави́дитъ, а҆ дрꙋга́го возлю́битъ: и҆лѝ є҆ди́нагѡ держи́тсѧ, ѡ҆ дрꙋзѣ́мъ же нерадѣ́ти на́чнетъ: не мо́жете бг҃ꙋ рабо́тати и҆ мамѡ́нѣ.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα πάντα καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες, καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν.
Слы́шахꙋ же сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ и҆ фарїсе́є, сребролю́бцы сꙋ́ще, рꙋга́хꙋсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 82] вы̀ є҆стѐ ѡ҆правда́юще себѐ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, бг҃ъ же вѣ́сть сердца̀ ва̑ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ, є҆́же є҆́сть въ человѣ́цѣхъ высоко̀, ме́рзость є҆́сть пред̾ бг҃омъ.
