2 Corinthians 9:6–11 (Hilarion) § 188
Hilarion
Brethren, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. So let each man give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He hath dispersed abroad, He hath given to the poor; His righteousness remains forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
Ephesians 5:20–26
§ 230
Ephesians 5:20–26 § 230
Brethren, give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the Church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing… Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for it, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word …
Luke 9.23-27
§ 44
Luke 9.23-27 § 44
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Ἔλεγε δὲ πρὸς πάντας· εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεσθαι, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
[Заⷱ҇ 44] Гл҃аше же ко всѣ̑мъ: а҆́ще кто̀ хо́щетъ по мнѣ̀ и҆тѝ, да ѿве́ржетсѧ себє̀, и҆ во́зметъ кре́стъ сво́й, и҆ послѣ́дꙋетъ мѝ.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ᾿ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ, οὗτος σώσει αὐτήν.
И҆́же бо а҆́ще хо́щетъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ спⷭ҇тѝ, погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀: а҆ и҆́же погꙋби́тъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ менє̀ ра́ди, се́й сп҃се́тъ ю҆̀.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος κερδήσας τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἀπολέσας ἢ ζημιωθείς;
Что́ бо по́льзы и҆́мать человѣ́къ, приѡбрѣ́тъ мі́ръ ве́сь, себе́ же погꙋби́въ и҆лѝ ѡ҆тщети́въ;
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἐπαισχυνθῇ με καὶ τοὺς ἐμοὺς λόγους, τοῦτον ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπαισχυνθήσεται ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῶν ἁγίων ἀγγέλων.
И҆́же бо а҆́ще постыди́тсѧ менє̀ и҆ мои́хъ слове́съ, сегѡ̀ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй постыди́тсѧ, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ во сла́вѣ свое́й и҆ ѻ҆́ч҃ей и҆ ст҃ы́хъ а҆́гг҃лъ.
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ἀληθῶς, εἰσί τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἳ οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσι τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Гл҃ю же ва́мъ вои́стиннꙋ: сꙋ́ть нѣ́цыи ѿ здѣ̀ стоѧ́щихъ, и҆̀же не и҆́мꙋтъ вкꙋси́ти сме́рти, до́ндеже ви́дѧтъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
