Philippians 1:12–20
§ 237
Philippians 1:12–20 § 237
Brethren, I want you to know that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the Gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear… Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: The one preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; but the other out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. For I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope …
Luke 8.22-25
§ 37
Luke 8.22-25 § 37
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς λίμνης· καὶ ἀνήχθησαν.
[Заⷱ҇ 37] И҆ бы́сть во є҆ди́нъ ѿ дні́й, то́й влѣ́зе въ кора́бль и҆ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: пре́йдемъ на ѡ҆́нъ по́лъ є҆́зера. И҆ поидо́ша.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
πλεόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀφύπνωσε. καὶ κατέβη λαῖλαψ ἀνέμου εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ συνεπληροῦντο καὶ ἐκινδύνευον.
И҆дꙋ́щымъ же и҆̀мъ, ᲂу҆́спе. И҆ сни́де бꙋ́рѧ вѣ́тренаѧ въ є҆́зеро, и҆ скончава́хꙋсѧ и҆ въ бѣдѣ̀ бѣ́хꙋ.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
προσελθόντες δὲ διήγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· ἐπιστάτα ἐπιστάτα, ἀπολλύμεθα. ὁ δὲ ἐγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ τῷ κλύδωνι τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη.
И҆ пристꙋ́пльше воздвиго́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: наста́вниче, наста́вниче, погиба́емъ. Ѻ҆́нъ же воста́въ запретѝ вѣ́трꙋ и҆ волне́нїю водно́мꙋ: и҆ ᲂу҆лего́ста, и҆ бы́сть тишина̀.
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν; φοβηθέντες δὲ ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους· τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ τοῖς ἀνέμοις ἐπιτάσσει καὶ τῷ ὕδατι, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;
Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть вѣ́ра ва́ша; Оу҆боѧ́вшесѧ же чꙋди́шасѧ, глаго́люще дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ: кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо се́й є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ вѣ́трѡмъ повелѣва́етъ и҆ водѣ̀, и҆ послꙋ́шаютъ є҆гѡ̀;
