1 Timothy
§ 285
1 Timothy § 285
of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer… If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather to godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come… Take heed unto yourself, and unto doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you shall save both yourself and those who hear you.
Luke 21.37-22.8

Luke 21.37-22.8 § 108
Chapter 21
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
Ἦν δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων, τὰς δὲ νύκτας ἐξερχόμενος ηὐλίζετο εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον ἐλαιῶν·
[Заⷱ҇ 108] Бѣ́ же во дни̑ во це́ркви ᲂу҆чѧ̀: но́щїю же и҆сходѧ̀ водворѧ́шесѧ въ горѣ̀ нарица́емѣй є҆леѡ́нъ.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
И҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́тра прихожда́хꙋ къ немꙋ̀ во це́рковь послꙋ́шати є҆го̀.
Chapter 22
NOW the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Ἤγγιζε δὲ ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν ἀζύμων ἡ λεγομένη πάσχα.
Приближа́шесѧ же пра́здникъ ѡ҆прѣснѡ́къ, глаго́лемый па́сха:
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
καὶ ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν.
и҆ и҆ска́хꙋ а҆рхїере́є и҆ кни́жницы, ка́кѡ бы ᲂу҆би́ли є҆го̀: боѧ́хꙋсѧ бо люді́й.
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
εἰσῆλθε δὲ ὁ σατανᾶς εἰς Ἰούδαν τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Ἰσκαριώτην, ὄντα ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν δώδεκα,
Вни́де же сатана̀ во і҆ꙋ́дꙋ нарица́емаго і҆скарїѡ́тъ, сꙋ́ща ѿ числа̀ ѻ҆боюна́десѧте,
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
καὶ ἀπελθὼν συνελάλησε τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσι καὶ γραμματεῦσι καὶ στρατηγοῖς τὸ πῶς αὐτὸν παραδῶ αὐτοῖς.
и҆ ше́дъ глаго́ла а҆рхїере́ѡмъ и҆ воево́дамъ, ка́кѡ є҆го̀ преда́стъ и҆̀мъ.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
καὶ ἐχάρησαν, καὶ συνέθεντο αὐτῷ ἀργύρια δοῦναι·
И҆ возра́довашасѧ и҆ совѣща́ша є҆мꙋ̀ сре́бреники да́ти:
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
καὶ ἐξωμολόγησε, καὶ ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν αὐτοῖς ἄτερ ὄχλου.
и҆ и҆сповѣ́да {ѡ҆бѣща́сѧ} и҆ и҆ска́ше ᲂу҆до́бна вре́мене, да преда́стъ є҆го̀ и҆̀мъ без̾ наро́да.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
Ἦλθε δὲ ἡ ἡμέρα τῶν ἀζύμων, ἐν ᾗ ἔδει θύεσθαι τὸ πάσχα,
Прїи́де же де́нь ѡ҆прѣсно́кѡвъ, во́ньже подоба́ше жре́ти па́схꙋ:
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
καὶ ἀπέστειλε Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην εἰπών· πορευθέντες ἑτοιμάσατε ἡμῖν τὸ πάσχα ἵνα φάγωμεν.
и҆ посла̀ петра̀ и҆ і҆ѡа́нна, ре́къ: шє́дша ᲂу҆гото́вайта на́мъ па́схꙋ, да ꙗ҆́мы.
