2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 § 275

2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 § 275

Brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him, we beseech you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ is at hand… Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then shall the wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the wicked one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Luke 15.1-10 § 78

Luke 15.1-10 § 78

1

THEN drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

Ἦσαν δὲ ἐγγίζοντες αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ τελῶναι καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.

[Заⷱ҇ 78] Бѧ́хꙋ же приближа́ющесѧ къ немꙋ̀ всѝ мытарі́е и҆ грѣ̑шницы, послꙋ́шати є҆гѡ̀.

2

And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

καὶ διεγόγγυζον οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες ὅτι οὗτος ἁμαρτωλοὺς προσδέχεται καὶ συνεσθίει αὐτοῖς.

И҆ ропта́хꙋ фарїсе́є и҆ кни́жницы, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й грѣ́шники прїе́млетъ и҆ съ ни́ми ꙗ҆́стъ.

3

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγων·

Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ при́тчꙋ сїю̀, гл҃ѧ:

4

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

Τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα, καὶ ἀπολέσας ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ἕως οὗ εὕρῃ αὐτό;

кі́й человѣ́къ ѿ ва́съ и҆мы́й сто̀ ѻ҆ве́цъ, и҆ погꙋ́бль є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ ни́хъ, не ѡ҆ста́витъ ли девѧти́десѧти и҆ девѧтѝ въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ и҆́детъ в̾слѣ́дъ поги́бшїѧ, до́ндеже ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ю҆̀;

5

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

καὶ εὑρὼν ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων,

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ возлага́етъ на ра̑мѣ своѝ ра́дꙋѧсѧ:

6

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον συγκαλεῖ τοὺς φίλους καὶ τοὺς γείτονας λέγων αὐτοῖς· συγχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὸ πρόβατόν μου τὸ ἀπολωλός.

и҆ прише́дъ въ до́мъ, созыва́етъ дрꙋ́ги и҆ сосѣ́ды, глаго́лѧ и҆̀мъ: ра́дꙋйтесѧ со мно́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ ѻ҆́вцꙋ мою̀ поги́бшꙋю.

7

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτω χαρὰ ἔσται ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι ἢ ἐπὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα δικαίοις, οἵτινες οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσι μετανοίας.

Гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ ра́дость бꙋ́детъ на нб҃сѝ ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ грѣ́шницѣ ка́ющемсѧ, не́жели ѡ҆ девѧти́десѧтихъ и҆ девѧтѝ првⷣникъ, и҆̀же не тре́бꙋютъ покаѧ́нїѧ.

8

Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

Ἢ τίς γυνὴ δραχμὰς ἔχουσα δέκα, ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ δραχμὴν μίαν, οὐχὶ ἅπτει λύχνον καὶ σαροῖ τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ζητεῖ ἐπιμελῶς ἕως ὅτου εὕρῃ;

И҆лѝ ка́ѧ жена̀ и҆мꙋ́щи де́сѧть дра́хмъ, а҆́ще погꙋби́тъ дра́хмꙋ є҆ди́нꙋ, не вжига́етъ ли свѣти́льника, и҆ помете́тъ хра́минꙋ, и҆ и҆́щетъ прилѣ́жнѡ, до́ндеже ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ;

9

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

καὶ εὑροῦσα συγκαλεῖ τὰς φίλας καὶ τὰς γείτονας λέγουσα· συγχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὴν δραχμὴν ἣν ἀπώλεσα.

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тши созыва́етъ дрꙋги̑ни и҆ сосѣ́ды, глаго́лющи: ра́дꙋйтесѧ со мно́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ дра́хмꙋ поги́бшꙋю.

10

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

οὕτω, λέγω ὑμῖν, χαρὰ γίνεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι.

Та́кѡ, гл҃ю ва́мъ, ра́дость быва́етъ пред̾ а҆́гг҃лы бж҃їими ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ грѣ́шницѣ ка́ющемсѧ.
