2 Thessalonians 1:1–10
§ 274
2 Thessalonians 1:1–10 § 274
Paul, Silvánus, and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalónians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that we ourselves boast of you among the Churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty Angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe … because our testimony among you was believed…
Luke 14.12-15
§ 75
Luke 14.12-15 § 75
Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ τῷ κεκληκότι αὐτόν· ὅταν ποιῇς ἄριστον ἢ δεῖπνον, μὴ φώνει τοὺς φίλους σου μηδὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μηδὲ τοὺς συγγενεῖς σου μηδὲ γείτονας πλουσίους, μήποτε καὶ αὐτοί σε ἀντικαλέσωσι, καὶ γενήσεταί σοι ἀνταπόδομα.
[Заⷱ҇ 75] Гл҃аше же и҆ ко зва́вшемꙋ є҆го̀: є҆гда̀ сотвори́ши ѡ҆бѣ́дъ и҆лѝ ве́черю, не зовѝ дрꙋгѡ́въ твои́хъ, ни бра́тїи твоеѧ̀, ни срѡ́дникъ твои́хъ, ни сосѣ̑дъ бога́тыхъ: є҆да̀ когда̀ и҆ ті́и тѧ̀ та́кожде воззовꙋ́тъ, и҆ бꙋ́детъ тѝ воздаѧ́нїе.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
ἀλλ᾿ ὅταν ποιῇς δοχήν, κάλει πτωχούς, ἀναπήρους, χωλούς, τυφλούς,
Но є҆гда̀ твори́ши пи́ръ, зовѝ ни́щыѧ, маломѡ́щныѧ, хрѡмы́ѧ, слѣпы̑ѧ:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
καὶ μακάριος ἔσῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνταποδοῦναί σοι· ἀνταποδοθήσεται γάρ σοι ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τῶν δικαίων.
и҆ бл҃же́нъ бꙋ́деши, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мꙋтъ тѝ что̀ возда́ти: возда́стъ же тѝ сѧ̀ въ воскр҃ше́нїе првⷣныхъ.
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Ἀκούσας δέ τις τῶν συνανακειμένων ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μακάριος ὃς φάγεται ἄριστον ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Слы́шавъ же нѣ́кїй ѿ возлежа́щихъ съ ни́мъ сїѧ̑, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: блаже́нъ, и҆́же снѣ́сть ѡ҆бѣ́дъ въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
