Romans 14:9–18
§ 114
Romans 14:9–18 § 114
Brethren, to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living… But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve never to put a stumbling block or a hindrance in our brother’s way. I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. But if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; for the Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
Galatians 4:22–31 (St Anna) § 210ctr
St Anna
Brethren, Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh, and he of the free woman was by promise, which things are an allegory. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sínai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hágar—for this Hágar is Mount Sínai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not! Break forth and shout, thou that travailest not! For the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband”… Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free…

§ 46
Matthew 12.14-16, 22-30 § 46
Chapter 12
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Ἐξελθόντες δὲ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον κατ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
[Заⷱ҇ 46] Фарїсе́є же ше́дше совѣ́тъ сотвори́ша на него̀, ка́кѡ є҆го̀ погꙋбѧ́тъ. І҆и҃съ же разꙋмѣ́въ ѿи́де ѿтꙋ́дꙋ.
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν· καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας,
И҆ по не́мъ и҆до́ша наро́ди мно́зи, и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ и҆̀хъ всѣ́хъ:
And charged them that they should not make him known:
καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν ποιήσωσιν αὐτόν,
и҆ запретѝ и҆̀мъ, да не ꙗ҆́вѣ є҆го̀ творѧ́тъ:
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Τότε προσηνέχθη αὐτῷ δαιμονιζόμενος τυφλὸς καὶ κωφός, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτόν, ὥστε τὸν τυφλὸν καὶ κωφὸν καὶ λαλεῖν καὶ βλέπειν·
Тогда̀ приведо́ша къ немꙋ̀ бѣснꙋ́ющасѧ слѣ́па и҆ нѣ́ма: и҆ и҆сцѣлѝ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ слѣпо́мꙋ и҆ нѣмо́мꙋ глаго́лати и҆ глѧ́дати.
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον· μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς Δαυΐδ;
И҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ всѝ наро́ди глаго́люще: є҆да̀ се́й є҆́сть (хрⷭ҇то́съ) сн҃ъ дв҃довъ;
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες εἶπον· οὗτος οὐκ ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια εἰμὴ ἐν τῷ Βεελζεβούλ, ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων.
Фарїсе́є же слы́шавше рѣ́ша: се́й не и҆зго́нитъ бѣ́сы, то́кмѡ ѡ҆ веельзевꙋ́лѣ кнѧ́зи бѣсо́встѣмъ.
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
εἰδὼς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς ἐνθυμήσεις αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πᾶσα βασιλεία μερισθεῖσα καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν ἐρημοῦται, καὶ πᾶσα πόλις ἢ οἰκία μερισθεῖσα καθ᾿ ἑαυτὴν οὐ σταθήσεται.
Вѣ́дый же і҆и҃съ мы̑сли и҆́хъ, речѐ и҆̀мъ: всѧ́кое ца́рство раздѣ́льшеесѧ на сѧ̀ запꙋстѣ́етъ, и҆ всѧ́къ гра́дъ и҆лѝ до́мъ раздѣли́выйсѧ на сѧ̀ не ста́нетъ.
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
καὶ εἰ ὁ σατανᾶς τὸν σατανᾶν ἐκβάλλει, ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτὸν ἐμερίσθη· πῶς οὖν σταθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ;
И҆ а҆́ще сатана̀ сатанꙋ̀ и҆зго́нитъ, на сѧ̀ раздѣли́лсѧ є҆́сть: ка́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо ста́нетъ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀;
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
καὶ εἰ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν ἐν τίνι ἐκβαλοῦσι; διὰ τοῦτο αὐτοὶ κριταὶ ἔσονται ὑμῶν.
И҆ а҆́ще а҆́зъ ѡ҆ веельзевꙋ́лѣ и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы, сы́нове ва́ши ѡ҆ ко́мъ и҆зго́нѧтъ; сегѡ̀ ра́ди ті́и ва́мъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ сꙋдїи̑.
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Πνεύματι Θεοῦ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια, ἄρα ἔφθασεν ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ.
А҆́ще ли же а҆́зъ ѡ҆ дс҃ѣ бж҃їи и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы, ᲂу҆̀бо пости́же на ва́съ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
ἢ πῶς δύναταί τις εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἰσχυροῦ καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἁρπάσαι, ἐὰν μὴ πρῶτον δήσῃ τὸν ἰσχυρόν; καὶ τότε τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ διαρπάσει.
И҆лѝ ка́кѡ мо́жетъ кто̀ вни́ти въ до́мъ крѣ́пкагѡ и҆ сосꙋ́ды є҆гѡ̀ расхи́тити, а҆́ще не пе́рвѣе свѧ́жетъ крѣ́пкаго, и҆ тогда̀ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀ расхи́титъ;
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει.
[Заⷱ҇ 47] И҆́же нѣ́сть со мно́ю, на мѧ̀ є҆́сть: и҆ и҆́же не собира́етъ со мно́ю, расточа́етъ.
Luke 8.16-21 (St Anna) § 36
St Anna
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ λυχνίας ἐπιτίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσι τὸ φῶς.
[Заⷱ҇ 36] Никто́же (ᲂу҆̀бо) свѣти́льника вже́гъ, покрыва́етъ є҆го̀ сосꙋ́домъ, и҆лѝ под̾ ѻ҆́дръ подлага́етъ: но на свѣ́щникъ возлага́етъ, да входѧ́щїи ви́дѧтъ свѣ́тъ.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
οὐ γάρ ἐστι κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.
Нѣ́сть бо та́йно, є҆́же не ꙗ҆вле́но бꙋ́детъ: нижѐ ᲂу҆тае́но, є҆́же не позна́етсѧ и҆ въ ꙗ҆вле́нїе прїи́детъ.
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
Блюди́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо, ка́кѡ слы́шите: и҆́же бо и҆́мать, да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не и҆́мать, и҆ є҆́же мни́тсѧ и҆мѣ́ѧ, во́зметсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.
Прїидо́ша же къ немꙋ̀ мт҃и и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не можа́хꙋ бесѣ́довати къ немꙋ̀ наро́да ра́ди.
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
καὶ ἀπηγγέλη αὐτῷ λεγόντων· ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν σε θέλοντες.
И҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: мт҃и твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ внѣ̀ стоѧ́тъ, ви́дѣти тѧ̀ хотѧ́ще.
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες αὐτόν.
Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: ма́ти моѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑ сі́и сꙋ́ть, слы́шащїи сло́во бж҃їе, и҆ творѧ́щїи є҆̀.
