2 Thessalonians 3:6–18 § 277

2 Thessalonians 3:6–18 § 277

Brethren, we command you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. And if anyone does not obey our word in this Epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every Epistle; so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Luke 16.15-18, 17.1-4 § 82

Luke 16.15-18, 17.1-4 § 82

Chapter 16

15

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 82] вы̀ є҆стѐ ѡ҆правда́юще себѐ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, бг҃ъ же вѣ́сть сердца̀ ва̑ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ, є҆́же є҆́сть въ человѣ́цѣхъ высоко̀, ме́рзость є҆́сть пред̾ бг҃омъ.

16

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἕως Ἰωάννου· ἀπὸ τότε ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐαγγελίζεται, καὶ πᾶς εἰς αὐτὴν βιάζεται.

Зако́нъ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цы до і҆ѡа́нна: ѿто́лѣ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе бл҃говѣствꙋ́етсѧ, и҆ всѧ́къ въ нѐ нꙋ́дитсѧ {съ нꙋ́ждею вхо́дитъ}.

17

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

εὐκοπώτερον δέ ἐστι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν παρελθεῖν ἢ τοῦ νόμου μίαν κεραίαν πεσεῖν.

Оу҆до́бѣе же є҆́сть не́бꙋ и҆ землѝ прейтѝ, не́же ѿ зако́на є҆ди́нѣй чертѣ̀ поги́бнꙋти.

18

Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμῶν ἑτέραν μοιχεύει, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἀπολελυμένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς γαμῶν μοιχεύει.

Всѧ́къ пꙋща́ѧй женꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ приводѧ̀ и҆́нꙋ прелюбы̀ дѣ́етъ: и҆ женѧ́йсѧ пꙋще́ною ѿ мꙋ́жа прелюбы̀ твори́тъ.

Chapter 17

1

THEN said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

Ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· ἀνένδεκτόν ἐστι τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα· οὐαὶ δὲ δι᾿ οὗ ἔρχεται.

Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: не возмо́жно є҆́сть не прїитѝ собла́знѡмъ, го́ре же, є҆гѡ́же ра́ди прихо́дѧтъ:

2

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

λυσιτελεῖ αὐτῷ εἰ λίθος μυλικὸς περίκειται περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔρριπται εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἢ ἵνα σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.

ᲂу҆́нѣе є҆мꙋ̀ бы́ло бы, а҆́ще же́рновъ ѻ҆се́льскїй ѡ҆блежа́лъ бы ѡ҆ вы́и є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вве́рженъ въ мо́ре, не́же да соблазни́тъ ѿ ма́лыхъ си́хъ є҆ди́наго.

3

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς. ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ἐπιτίμησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐὰν μετανοήσῃ, ἄφες αὐτῷ·

[Заⷱ҇ 84] Внемли́те себѣ̀. А҆́ще согрѣши́тъ къ тебѣ̀ бра́тъ тво́й, запретѝ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ а҆́ще пока́етсѧ, ѡ҆ста́ви є҆мꙋ̀:

4

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

καὶ ἐὰν ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ καὶ ἑπτάκις τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπιστρέψῃ πρός σε λέγων, μετανοῶ, ἀφήσεις αὐτῷ.

и҆ а҆́ще седми́щи на де́нь согрѣши́тъ къ тебѣ̀ и҆ седми́щи на де́нь ѡ҆брати́тсѧ, глаго́лѧ: ка́юсѧ: ѡ҆ста́ви є҆мꙋ̀.
