Colossians 1:24–29 § 252

Colossians 1:24–29 § 252

Brethren, I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for His Body’s sake, which is the Church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

Galatians 5:22–6:2 § 213 (St John of Rila)

Galatians 5:22–6:2 (St John of Rila) § 213

St John of Rila

Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another… Brethren, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you who are spiritual restore, such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted… Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ…

Luke 9.49-56 § 48

Luke 9.49-56 § 48

49

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν· ἐπιστάτα, εἴδομέν τινα ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, καὶ ἐκωλύσαμεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν.

[Заⷱ҇ 48] Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆ѡа́ннъ речѐ: наста́вниче, ви́дѣхомъ нѣ́коего ѡ҆ и҆́мени твое́мъ и҆згонѧ́ща бѣ́сы: и҆ возбрани́хомъ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ в̾слѣ́дъ не хо́дитъ съ на́ми.

50

And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ κωλύετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστι καθ᾿ ὑμῶν· ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι καθ᾿ ὑμῶν, ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν.

И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: не брани́те: и҆́же бо нѣ́сть на вы̀, по ва́съ є҆́сть.

51

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐστήριξε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,

[Заⷱ҇] Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ скончава́хꙋсѧ дні́е восхожде́нїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ то́й ᲂу҆твердѝ лицѐ своѐ и҆тѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ:

52

And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσῆλθον εἰς κώμην Σαμαρειτῶν, ὥστε ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτῷ·

и҆ посла̀ вѣ́стники пред̾ лице́мъ свои́мъ: и҆ и҆зше́дше внидо́ша въ ве́сь самарѧ́нскꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ᲂу҆гото́вѧтъ є҆мꙋ̀:

53

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

καὶ οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

и҆ не прїѧ́ша є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ бѣ̀ грѧдꙋ́щее во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.

54

And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης εἶπον· Κύριε, θέλεις εἴπωμεν πῦρ καταβῆναι ἀπὸ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀναλῶσαι αὐτούς, ὡς καὶ Ἠλίας ἐποίησε;

Ви̑дѣвша же ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ, рѣ́ста: гдⷭ҇и, хо́щеши ли, рече́ма, да ѻ҆́гнь сни́детъ съ небесѐ и҆ потреби́тъ и҆̀хъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ и҆лїа̀ сотворѝ;

55

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ οἴδατε ποίου πνεύματός ἐστε ὑμεῖς·

Ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ же запретѝ и҆́ма, и҆ речѐ: не вѣ́ста, ко́егѡ дꙋ́ха є҆ста̀ вы̀:

56

For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθε ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέσαι, ἀλλὰ σῶσαι. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην.

сн҃ъ бо чл҃вѣ́ческїй не прїи́де дꙋ́шъ человѣ́ческихъ погꙋби́ти, но спⷭ҇тѝ. И҆ и҆до́ша во и҆́нꙋ ве́сь.
