Galatians 3:15–22 § 207

Galatians 3:15–22 § 207

Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man can annul it, or can add to it. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to thy Seed,” who is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through Angels by the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Luke 5.33-39 § 21

Luke 5.33-39 § 21

33

And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

Οἱ δὲ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· διατί οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου νηστεύουσι πυκνὰ καὶ δεήσεις ποιοῦνται, ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ τῶν Φαρισαίων, οἱ δὲ σοὶ ἐσθίουσι καὶ πίνουσιν;

[Заⷱ҇ 21] Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша къ немꙋ̀: почто̀ ᲂу҆ченицы̀ і҆ѡа́ннѡвы постѧ́тсѧ ча́стѡ и҆ моли̑твы творѧ́тъ, та́кожде и҆ фарїсе́йстїи, а҆ твоѝ ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ и҆ пїю́тъ;

34

And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μὴ δύνασθε τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ νυμφῶνος, ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐστι, ποιῆσαι νηστεύειν;

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ ни̑мъ: є҆да̀ мо́жете сы́ны бра̑чныѧ, до́ндеже жени́хъ съ ни́ми є҆́сть, сотвори́ти пости́тисѧ;

35

But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι, καὶ ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.

прїи́дꙋтъ же дні́е, є҆гда̀ ѿѧ́тъ бꙋ́детъ ѿ ни́хъ жени́хъ, и҆ тогда̀ постѧ́тсѧ въ ты̑ѧ дни̑.

36

And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

ἔλεγε δὲ καὶ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ἱματίου καινοῦ ἐπιβάλλει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν· εἰ δὲ μήγε, καὶ τὸ καινὸν σχίσει καὶ τῷ παλαιῷ οὐ συμφωνεῖ τὸ ἐπίβλημα τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ καινοῦ.

Гл҃аше же и҆ при́тчꙋ къ ни̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никто́же приставле́нїѧ ри́зы но́вы приставлѧ́етъ на ри́зꙋ ве́тхꙋ: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, и҆ но́вꙋю раздере́тъ, и҆ ве́тсѣй не согласꙋ́етъ є҆́же ѿ но́вагѡ.

37

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

καὶ οὐδεὶς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μήγε, ρήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τοὺς ἀσκούς, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκχυθήσεται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοὶ ἀπολοῦνται·

И҆ никто́же влива́етъ вїна̀ но́ва въ мѣ́хи вє́тхи: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, расто́ргнетъ но́вое вїно̀ мѣ́хи, и҆ са́мо и҆злїе́тсѧ, и҆ мѣ́си поги́бнꙋтъ:

38

But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινοὺς βλητέον, καὶ ἀμφότεροι συντηροῦνται.

но вїно̀ но́вое въ мѣ́хи нѡ́вы влива́ти {подоба́етъ}: и҆ ѻ҆боѧ̑ соблюдꙋ́тсѧ.

39

No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

καὶ οὐδεὶς πιὼν παλαιὸν εὐθέως θέλει νέον· λέγει γάρ· ὁ παλαιὸς χρηστότερός ἐστιν.

И҆ никто́же пи́въ ве́тхое, а҆́бїе хо́щетъ но́вагѡ: глаго́летъ бо: ве́тхое лꙋ́чше є҆́сть.
