Luke 24.1-12
§ 112
NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέος ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καί τινες σὺν αὐταῖς.
[Заⷱ҇ 112] Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀ ра́нѡ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, носѧ́щѧ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́ваша а҆рѡма́ты: и҆ дрꙋгі̑ѧ съ ни́ми:
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
εὗρον δὲ τὸν λίθον ἀποκεκυλισμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου,
ѡ҆брѣто́ша же ка́мень ѿвале́нъ ѿ гро́ба,
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι οὐχ εὗρον τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.
и҆ вше́дшѧ не ѡ҆брѣто́ша тѣлесѐ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαπορεῖσθαι αὐτὰς περὶ τούτου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο ἐπέστησαν αὐταῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσιν ἀστραπτούσαις.
И҆ бы́сть не домышлѧ́ющымсѧ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ се́мъ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ̑жа два̀ ста́ста пред̾ ни́ми въ ри́захъ блеща́щихсѧ.
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
ἐμφόβων δὲ γενομένων αὐτῶν καὶ κλινουσῶν τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἶπον πρὸς αὐτάς· τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν;
Пристра̑шнымъ же бы́вшымъ и҆̀мъ и҆ покло́ньшымъ ли́ца на зе́млю, реко́ста къ ни̑мъ: что̀ и҆́щете жива́го съ ме́ртвыми;
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε, ἀλλ᾿ ἠγέρθη· μνήσθητε ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν ἔτι ὢν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ,
нѣ́сть здѣ̀, но воста̀: помѧни́те, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а ва́мъ, є҆щѐ сы́й въ галїле́и,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
λέγων ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι.
гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сн҃ꙋ чл҃вѣ́ческомꙋ пре́данꙋ бы́ти въ рꙋ́цѣ человѣ̑къ грѣ̑шникъ, и҆ пропѧ́тꙋ бы́ти, и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
καὶ ὑποστρέψασαι ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἕνδεκα καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς λοιποῖς.
и҆ возвра́щшѧсѧ ѿ гро́ба, возвѣсти́ша всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ є҆диномꙋна́десѧте и҆ всѣ̑мъ про́чымъ.
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
ἦσαν δὲ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ Μαρία καὶ Ἰωάννα καὶ Μαρία Ἰακώβου καὶ οἱ λοιπαὶ σὺν αὐταῖς, αἳ ἔλεγον πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ταῦτα.
Бѧ́ше же магдали́на марі́а и҆ і҆ѡа́нна и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ, и҆ про́чыѧ съ ни́ми, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лахꙋ ко а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ сїѧ̑.
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
καὶ ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λῆρος τὰ ρήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἠπίστουν αὐταῖς.
И҆ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ пред̾ ни́ми ꙗ҆́кѡ лжа̀ глаго́лы и҆́хъ, и҆ не вѣ́ровахꙋ и҆̀мъ.
Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα μόνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν θαυμάζων τὸ γεγονός.
[Заⷱ҇ 113] Пе́тръ же воста́въ течѐ ко гро́бꙋ и҆ прини́къ ви́дѣ ри̑зы є҆ди̑ны лежа́щѧ: и҆ ѿи́де, въ себѣ̀ дивѧ́сѧ бы́вшемꙋ.

2 Corinthians 4:6–15
§ 176
2 Corinthians 4:6–15 § 176
Brethren, It is God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ… But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always bearing in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you… And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore have I spoken,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the thanksgiving of many, may abound to the glory of God…
Luke 6.31-36
§ 26
Luke 6.31-36 § 26
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
καὶ καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως.
[Заⷱ҇ 26] И҆ ꙗ҆́коже хо́щете да творѧ́тъ ва́мъ человѣ́цы, и҆ вы̀ твори́те и҆̀мъ та́кожде.
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσι.
И҆ а҆́ще лю́бите лю́бѧщыѧ вы̀, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы лю́бѧщыѧ и҆̀хъ лю́бѧтъ.
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
καὶ ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι.
И҆ а҆́ще благотворитѐ благотворѧ́щымъ ва́мъ, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы то́жде творѧ́тъ.
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
καὶ ἐὰν δανείζητε παρ᾿ ὧν ἐλπίζετε ἀπολαβεῖν, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς δανείζουσιν ἵνα ἀπολάβωσι τὰ ἴσα.
И҆ а҆́ще взаи́мъ даетѐ, ѿ ни́хже ча́ете воспрїѧ́ти, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть, и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы грѣ́шникѡмъ взаи́мъ дава́ютъ, да воспрїи́мꙋтъ ра̑внаѧ.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανείζετε μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες, καὶ ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς, καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ ὑψίστου, ὅτι αὐτὸς χρηστός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς.
Ѻ҆ба́че люби́те врагѝ ва́шѧ, и҆ благотвори́те, и҆ взаи́мъ да́йте, ничесѡ́же ча́юще: и҆ бꙋ́детъ мзда̀ ва́ша мно́га, и҆ бꙋ́дете сы́нове вы́шнѧгѡ: ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й бл҃гъ є҆́сть на безблагода̑тныѧ {неблагода̑рныѧ} и҆ ѕлы̑ѧ.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Γίνεσθε οὖν οἰκτίρμονες, καθὼς καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν οἰκτίρμων ἐστί.
Бꙋ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо милосе́рди, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ млⷭ҇рдъ є҆́сть.
