Ephesians 4:25–32
§ 227
Ephesians 4:25–32 § 227
Brethren, putting away lying, each one speak truth with his neighbor … for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: let not the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him that has need. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.
Galatians 5:22–6:2 (St John of Rila) § 213
St John of Rila
Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another… Brethren, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual restore, such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted… Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ…
Luke 9.18-22
§ 43
Luke 9.18-22 § 43
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν προσευχόμενον καταμόνας, συνῆσαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς λέγων· τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ὄχλοι εἶναι;
[Заⷱ҇ 43] И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ молѧ́шесѧ є҆ди́нъ, съ ни́мъ бѣ́хꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀: и҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ, гл҃ѧ: кого́ мѧ глаго́лютъ наро́ди бы́ти;
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον· Ἰωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν, ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν, ἄλλοι δὲ ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη.
Ѻ҆ни́ же ѿвѣща́вше рѣ́ша: і҆ѡа́нна крⷭти́телѧ: и҆ні́и же и҆лїю̀: дрꙋзі́и же, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ нѣ́кїй ѿ дре́внихъ воскре́се.
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα μὲ λέγετε εἶναι; ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπε· τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: вы́ же кого́ мѧ глаго́лете бы́ти; Ѿвѣща́въ же пе́тръ речѐ: хрⷭ҇та̀ бж҃їѧ.
And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
Ὁ δὲ ἐπιτιμήσας αὐτοῖς παρήγγειλε μηδενὶ λέγειν τοῦτο,
Ѻ҆́нъ же запре́щь и҆̀мъ, повелѣ̀ никомꙋ́же глаго́лати сегѡ̀,
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
εἰπὼν ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἀρχιερέων καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθῆναι.
ре́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сн҃ꙋ чл҃вѣ́ческомꙋ мно́гѡ пострада́ти, и҆ и҆скꙋше́нꙋ {ѿве́рженꙋ} бы́ти ѿ ста́рєцъ и҆ а҆рхїерє́й и҆ кни̑жникъ, и҆ ᲂу҆бїе́нꙋ бы́ти, и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воста́ти.

He makes His Angels spirits / and His ministers a flaming fire.

Precious in the sight of the Lord / is the death of His Saints!
VWhat shall I render to the Lord for all His bounty to me?
Alleluia
Praise the Lord, O ye Angels of His! Praise Him all His hosts!
VFor He spoke and they came into being; He commanded and they were created.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments.
VHis seed shall be mighty in the land.
