Galatians 1:3–10
§ 199
Galatians 1:3–10 § 199
Brethren, Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of our God and our Father, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to another gospel, not that there is another, but there are some who trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an Angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if any man preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
Luke 9.57-62
§ 49
Luke 9.57-62 § 49
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶπέ τις πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ, Κύριε.
[Заⷱ҇ 49] Бы́сть же и҆дꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ по пꙋтѝ, речѐ нѣ́кїй къ немꙋ̀: и҆дꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀, а҆́може а҆́ще и҆́деши, гдⷭ҇и.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ли́си ꙗ҆́звины и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ гнѣ́зда: сн҃ъ же чл҃вѣ́ческїй не и҆́мать гдѣ̀ главꙋ̀ подклони́ти.
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
εἶπε δὲ πρὸς ἕτερον· ἀκολούθει μοι· ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀπελθόντι πρῶτον θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.
Рече́ же ко дрꙋго́мꙋ: ходѝ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, повели́ ми, (да) ше́дъ пре́жде погребꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моего̀.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς· σὺ δὲ ἀπελθὼν διάγγελλε τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: ѡ҆ста́ви мє́ртвыѧ погребстѝ своѧ̑ мертвецы̀: ты́ же ше́дъ возвѣща́й црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Εἶπε δὲ καὶ ἕτερος· ἀκολουθήσω σοι, Κύριε· πρῶτον δὲ ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀποτάξασθαι τοῖς εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου.
Рече́ же и҆ дрꙋгі́й: и҆дꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и: пре́жде же повели́ ми ѿвѣща́тисѧ, и҆̀же сꙋ́ть {попрости́тисѧ съ сꙋ́щими} въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐδεὶς ἐπιβαλὼν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἄροτρον καὶ βλέπων εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω εὔθετός ἐστιν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Рече́ же къ немꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: никто́же возло́жь рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на ра́ло и҆ зрѧ̀ вспѧ́ть, ᲂу҆пра́вленъ є҆́сть въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
