1 Corinthians 11:31–12:6
§ 150
1 Corinthians 11:31–12:6 § 150
Brethren, if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world... Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together unto condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come... Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and no man can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God which works all in all.
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…
Matthew 18.1-11
§ 74
Matthew 18.1-11 § 74
AT the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες· τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν;
[Заⷱ҇ 74] Въ то́й ча́съ пристꙋпи́ша ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ ко і҆и҃сꙋ, глаго́люще: кто̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ бо́лїй є҆́сть въ црⷭ҇твїи нбⷭ҇нѣмъ;
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ὁ Ἰησοῦς παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν·
И҆ призва́въ і҆и҃съ ѻ҆троча̀, поста́ви є҆̀ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.
и҆ речѐ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, а҆́ще не ѡ҆братите́сѧ и҆ бꙋ́дете ꙗ҆́кѡ дѣ́ти, не вни́дете въ црⷭ҇тво нбⷭ҇ное:
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
ὅστις οὖν ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὡς τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μείζων ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
и҆́же ᲂу҆̀бо смири́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆троча̀ сїѐ, то́й є҆́сть бо́лїй во црⷭ҇твїи нбⷭ҇нѣмъ:
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
καὶ ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται παιδίον τοιοῦτον ἓν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται·
и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще прїи́метъ ѻ҆троча̀ таково̀ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, менѐ прїе́млетъ:
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
ὃς δ᾿ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει αὐτῷ ἵνα κρεμασθῇ μύλος ὀνικὸς εἰς τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ καταποντισθῇ ἐν τῷ πελάγει τῆς θαλάσσης.
а҆ и҆́же а҆́ще соблазни́тъ є҆ди́наго ма́лыхъ си́хъ вѣ́рꙋющихъ въ мѧ̀, ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть є҆мꙋ̀, да ѡ҆бѣ́ситсѧ же́рновъ ѻ҆се́льскїй на вы́и є҆гѡ̀, и҆ пото́нетъ въ пꙋчи́нѣ морстѣ́й.
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Οὐαὶ τῷ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων· ἀνάγκη γάρ ἐστιν ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· πλὴν οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἐκείνῳ δι᾿ οὗ τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται.
Го́ре мі́рꙋ ѿ собла̑знъ: нꙋ́жда бо є҆́сть прїитѝ собла́знѡмъ: ѻ҆ба́че го́ре человѣ́кꙋ томꙋ̀, и҆́мже собла́знъ прихо́дитъ.
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
εἰ δὲ ἡ χείρ σου ἢ ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὰ καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν χωλὸν ἢ κυλλόν, ἢ δύο χεῖρας ἢ δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον.
А҆́ще ли рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ и҆лѝ нога̀ твоѧ̀ соблажнѧ́етъ тѧ̀, ѿсѣцы̀ ю҆̀ и҆ ве́рзи ѿ себє̀: добрѣ́йше тѝ є҆́сть вни́ти въ живо́тъ хро́мꙋ и҆лѝ бѣ́днꙋ {без̾ рꙋкѝ}, не́же двѣ̀ рꙋ́цѣ и҆ двѣ̀ но́зѣ и҆мꙋ́щꙋ вве́рженꙋ бы́ти во ѻ҆́гнь вѣ́чный:
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
καὶ εἰ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστι μονόφθαλμον εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός.
и҆ а҆́ще ѻ҆́ко твоѐ соблажнѧ́етъ тѧ̀, и҆змѝ є҆̀ и҆ ве́рзи ѿ себє̀: добрѣ́йше тѝ є҆́сть со є҆ди́нѣмъ ѻ҆́комъ въ живо́тъ вни́ти, не́же двѣ̀ ѡ҆́цѣ и҆мꙋ́щꙋ вве́рженꙋ бы́ти въ гее́ннꙋ ѻ҆́гненнꙋю.
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
ὁρᾶτε μὴ καταφρονήσητε ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.
[Заⷱ҇ 75] Блюди́те, да не пре́зрите є҆ди́нагѡ (ѿ) ма́лыхъ си́хъ: гл҃ю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гг҃ли и҆́хъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ вы́нꙋ ви́дѧтъ лицѐ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀ нбⷭ҇нагѡ.
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
ἦλθε γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.
Прїи́де бо сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй (взыска́ти и҆) спⷭ҇тѝ поги́бшаго.
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.
