2 Corinthians 11:5–21 § 192

2 Corinthians 11:5–21 § 192

Brethren, I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent Apostles. Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things… Have I committed an offense in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you the Gospel of God freely? I robbed other Churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what was lacking to me the brethren who came from Macedónia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Acháia. Why is this? Because I do not love you? [Only] God knows! But what I do, that will I continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. I say again, let no man think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I may boast myself a little. That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. Seeing that many glory in the flesh, I will glory also. For you put up with fools gladly, seeing yourselves as wise! For you put up with it if a man brings you into bondage, if a man devours you, if a man takes from you, if a man exalts himself, if a man strikes you on the face. To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that!

Luke 4.22-30 § 14

Luke 4.22-30 § 14

22

And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

καὶ πάντες ἐμαρτύρουν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις τῆς χάριτος τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ;

И҆ всѝ свидѣ́тельствовахꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, [Заⷱ҇ 14] и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ словесѣ́хъ блгⷣти, и҆сходѧ́щихъ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ глаго́лахꙋ: не се́й ли є҆́сть сн҃ъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ;

23

And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· πάντως ἐρεῖτέ μοι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν· ὅσα ἠκούσαμεν γενόμενα ἐν τῇ Καπερναούμ, ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου.

И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: всѧ́кѡ рече́те мѝ при́тчꙋ сїю̀: врачꙋ̀, и҆сцѣли́сѧ са́мъ: є҆ли̑ка слы́шахомъ бы̑вшаѧ въ капернаꙋ́мѣ, сотворѝ и҆ здѣ̀ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ.

24

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

εἶπε δέ· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς προφήτης δεκτός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ.

Рече́ же: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никото́рый прⷪ҇ро́къ прїѧ́тенъ є҆́сть во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ:

25

But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, πολλαὶ χῆραι ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἠλιοὺ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτε ἐκλείσθη ὁ οὐρανὸς ἐπὶ ἔτη τρία καὶ μῆνας ἕξ, ὡς ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν,

пои́стиннѣ же гл҃ю ва́мъ: мнѡ́ги вдови̑цы бѣ́ша во дни̑ и҆лїины̑ во і҆и҃ли, є҆гда̀ заключи́сѧ не́бо трѝ лѣ̑та и҆ мцⷭ҇ъ ше́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сть гла́дъ вели́къ по все́й землѝ:

26

But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

καὶ πρὸς οὐδεμίαν αὐτῶν ἐπέμφθη Ἠλίας εἰ μὴ εἰς Σάρεπτα τῆς Σιδωνίας πρὸς γυναῖκα χήραν.

и҆ ни ко є҆ди́нѣй и҆́хъ по́сланъ бы́сть и҆лїа̀, то́кмѡ въ саре́птꙋ сїдѡ́нскꙋю къ женѣ̀ вдови́цѣ:

27

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

καὶ πολλοὶ λεπροὶ ἦσαν ἐπὶ Ἐλισαίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν ἐκαθαρίσθη εἰ μὴ Νεεμὰν ὁ Σύρος.

и҆ мно́зи прокаже́ни бѣ́хꙋ при є҆лїссе́и прⷪ҇ро́цѣ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ ѡ҆чи́стисѧ, то́кмѡ неема́нъ сѷрїани́нъ.

28

And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν πάντες θυμοῦ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ ἀκούοντες ταῦτα,

И҆ и҆спо́лнишасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆́рости въ со́нмищи, слы́шавшїи сїѧ̑:

29

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

καὶ ἀναστάντες ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἕως ὀφρύος τοῦ ὄρους, ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἡ πόλις αὐτῶν ᾠκοδόμητο, εἰς τὸ κατακρημνίσαι αὐτόν.

и҆ воста́вше и҆згна́ша є҆го̀ во́нъ и҆з̾ гра́да, и҆ ведо́ша є҆го̀ до верхꙋ̀ горы̀, на не́йже гра́дъ и҆́хъ со́зданъ бѧ́ше, да бы́ша є҆го̀ низри́нꙋли:

30

But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

αὐτὸς δὲ διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο.

ѻ҆́нъ же проше́дъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆дѧ́ше.
