Colossians 3:17–4:1
§ 259
Colossians 3:17–4:1 § 259
Brethren, whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by Him. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men, knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall be repaid for the wrong which he has done, [for] there is no partiality… Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven…
Luke 11.42-46
§ 61
Luke 11.42-46 § 61
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
ἀλλ᾿ οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀποδεκατοῦτε τὸ ἡδύοσμον καὶ τὸ πήγανον καὶ πᾶν λάχανον, καὶ παρέρχεσθε τὴν κρίσιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ Θεοῦ· ταῦτα δὲ ἔδει ποιῆσαι, κἀκεῖνα μὴ ἀφιέναι.
[Заⷱ҇ 61] Но го́ре ва́мъ фарїсе́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆десѧ́тствꙋете ѿ мѧ́твы и҆ пига́на и҆ всѧ́кагѡ ѕе́лїѧ, и҆ мимохо́дите сꙋ́дъ и҆ любо́вь бж҃їю: сїѧ̑ подоба́ше сотвори́ти, и҆ ѻ҆́нѣхъ не ѡ҆ставлѧ́ти.
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς Φαρισαίοις, ὅτι ἀγαπᾶτε τὴν πρωτοκαθεδρίαν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀσπασμοὺς ἐν ταῖς ἀγοραῖς.
Го́ре ва́мъ фарїсе́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́бите предсѣда̑нїѧ на со́нмищихъ и҆ цѣлова̑нїѧ на то́ржищихъ.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
οὐαὶ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί, ὅτι ἐστὲ ὡς τὰ μνημεῖα τὰ ἄδηλα, καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι περιπατοῦντες ἐπάνω οὐκ οἴδασιν.
Го́ре ва́мъ, кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є, лицемѣ́ри, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆стѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ гро́би невѣ́доми, и҆ человѣ́цы ходѧ́щїи верхꙋ̀ не вѣ́дѧтъ.
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
Ἀποκριθεὶς δέ τις τῶν νομικῶν λέγει αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα λέγων καὶ ἡμᾶς ὑβρίζεις.
Ѿвѣща́въ же нѣ́кїй ѿ закѡ́нникъ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ и҆ на́мъ досажда́еши.
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
ὁ δὲ εἶπε· καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς νομικοῖς οὐαί, ὅτι φορτίζετε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φορτία δυσβάστακτα, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἑνὶ τῶν δακτύλων ὑμῶν οὐ προσψαύετε τοῖς φορτίοις.
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: и҆ ва́мъ зако́нникѡмъ го́ре, ꙗ҆́кѡ накла́даете на человѣ́ки бремена̀ не ᲂу҆до́бь носи̑ма, и҆ са́ми є҆ди́нѣмъ пе́рстомъ ва́шимъ не прикаса́етесѧ бременє́мъ.
