Philippians 3:8–19
§ 245
Philippians 3:8–19 § 245
Brethren, I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ … and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His Resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed unto His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as be perfect, have this in mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, [and] let us mind the same thing. Brethren, join in following me, and note those who so walk, as you have us for an example. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the Cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their mind on earthly things.
Luke 13.31-35
§ 73
Luke 13.31-35 § 73
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθόν τινες Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες αὐτῷ· ἔξελθε καὶ πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι Ἡρῴδης θέλει σε ἀποκτεῖναι.
[Заⷱ҇ 73] Въ то́й де́нь пристꙋпи́ша нѣ́цыи ѿ фарїсє́й, глаго́люще є҆мꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди и҆ и҆дѝ ѿсю́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́рѡдъ хо́щетъ тѧ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти.
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες εἴπατε τῇ ἀλώπεκι ταύτῃ· ἰδοὺ ἐκβάλλω δαιμόνια καὶ ἰάσεις ἐπιτελῶ σήμερον καὶ αὔριον, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ τελειοῦμαι·
И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ше́дше рцы́те ли́сꙋ томꙋ̀: сѐ, и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы и҆ и҆сцѣлє́нїѧ творю̀ дне́сь и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ, и҆ въ тре́тїй сконча́юсѧ:
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
πλὴν δεῖ με σήμερον καὶ αὔριον καὶ τῇ ἐχομένῃ πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνδέχεται προφήτην ἀπολέσθαι ἔξω Ἱερουσαλήμ.
ѻ҆ба́че подоба́етъ мѝ дне́сь и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ и҆ въ бли́жнїй и҆тѝ: ꙗ҆́кѡ невозмо́жно є҆́сть прⷪ҇ро́кꙋ поги́бнꙋти кромѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Ἱερουσαλὴμ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτέννουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν, ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυνάξαι τὰ τέκνα σου ὃν τρόπον ὄρνις τὴν ἑαυτῆς νοσσιὰν ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.
І҆ерⷭли́ме, і҆ерⷭли́ме, и҆зби́вый прⷪ҇ро́ки и҆ ка́менїемъ побива́ѧ пѡ́сланныѧ къ тебѣ̀, колькра́ты восхотѣ́хъ собра́ти ча̑да твоѧ̑, ꙗ҆́коже ко́кошъ гнѣздо̀ своѐ под̾ крилѣ̑, и҆ не восхотѣ́сте;
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
ἰδοὺ ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν ἔρημος. λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μή με ἴδητε ἕως ἂν ἥξῃ ὅτε εἴπητε· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
Сѐ, ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ ва́мъ до́мъ ва́шъ пꙋ́стъ. Гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мате менѐ ви́дѣти, до́ндеже прїи́детъ, є҆гда̀ рече́те: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ грѧды́й во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.
