Philippians 2:12–16
§ 241
Philippians 2:12–16 § 241
Brethren, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without murmuring and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ …
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 9.18-22
§ 43
Luke 9.18-22 § 43
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν προσευχόμενον καταμόνας, συνῆσαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς λέγων· τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ὄχλοι εἶναι;
[Заⷱ҇ 43] И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ молѧ́шесѧ є҆ди́нъ, съ ни́мъ бѣ́хꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀: и҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ, гл҃ѧ: кого́ мѧ глаго́лютъ наро́ди бы́ти;
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον· Ἰωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν, ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν, ἄλλοι δὲ ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη.
Ѻ҆ни́ же ѿвѣща́вше рѣ́ша: і҆ѡа́нна крⷭти́телѧ: и҆ні́и же и҆лїю̀: дрꙋзі́и же, ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́къ нѣ́кїй ѿ дре́внихъ воскре́се.
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα μὲ λέγετε εἶναι; ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπε· τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: вы́ же кого́ мѧ глаго́лете бы́ти; Ѿвѣща́въ же пе́тръ речѐ: хрⷭ҇та̀ бж҃їѧ.
And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
Ὁ δὲ ἐπιτιμήσας αὐτοῖς παρήγγειλε μηδενὶ λέγειν τοῦτο,
Ѻ҆́нъ же запре́щь и҆̀мъ, повелѣ̀ никомꙋ́же глаго́лати сегѡ̀,
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
εἰπὼν ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἀρχιερέων καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθῆναι.
ре́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сн҃ꙋ чл҃вѣ́ческомꙋ мно́гѡ пострада́ти, и҆ и҆скꙋше́нꙋ {ѿве́рженꙋ} бы́ти ѿ ста́рєцъ и҆ а҆рхїерє́й и҆ кни̑жникъ, и҆ ᲂу҆бїе́нꙋ бы́ти, и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воста́ти.

He makes His Angels spirits / and His ministers a flaming fire.
VBless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, Thou art very great!
Precious in the sight of the Lord / is the death of His Saints!
VWhat shall I render to the Lord for all His bounty to me?
Alleluia
Praise the Lord, O ye Angels of His! Praise Him all His hosts!
VFor He spoke and they came into being; He commanded and they were created.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments.
VHis seed shall be mighty in the land.
