2 Corinthians 1:8–11 § 168

2 Corinthians 1:8–11 § 168

Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

Galatians 1:11–19 § 200 (St James)

Galatians 1:11–19 (St James) § 200

St James

Brethren, I make known to you that the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former conduct in the religion of the Jews, how I persecuted the Church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. And I advanced in the religion of the Jews beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, neither did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him for fifteen days. But I saw none of the other Apostles except for James, the brother of the Lord …

Brethren, I would not have you to be ignorant, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Luke 7.1-10 § 29

Luke 7.1-10 § 29

1

NOW when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐπλήρωσε πάντα τὰ ρήματα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Καπερναούμ.

Є҆гда́ же сконча̀ всѧ̑ гл҃го́лы своѧ̑ въ слꙋ́хи лю́демъ, [Заⷱ҇ 29] вни́де въ капернаꙋ́мъ.

2

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.

ἑκατοντάρχου δέ τινος δοῦλος κακῶς ἔχων ἤμελλε τελευτᾶν, ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος.

Со́тникꙋ же нѣ́коемꙋ ра́бъ болѧ̀ ѕлѣ̀, хотѧ́ше {и҆мѣ́ѧше} ᲂу҆мре́ти, и҆́же бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ че́стенъ.

3

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

ἀκούσας δὲ περὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν πρεσβυτέρους τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐρωτῶν αὐτὸν ὅπως ἐλθὼν διασώσῃ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ.

Слы́шавъ же ѡ҆ і҆и҃сѣ, посла̀ къ немꙋ̀ ста́рцы і҆ꙋдє́йскїѧ, молѧ̀ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да прише́дъ сп҃се́тъ раба̀ є҆гѡ̀.

4

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν παρεκάλουν αὐτὸν σπουδαίως, λέγοντες ὅτι ἄξιός ἐστιν ᾧ παρέξει τοῦτο.

Ѻ҆ни́ же прише́дше ко і҆и҃сови, молѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀ то́щнѡ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ досто́инъ є҆́сть, є҆мꙋ́же да́си сїѐ:

5

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

ἀγαπᾷ γὰρ τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν, καὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησεν ἡμῖν.

лю́битъ бо ꙗ҆зы́къ на́шъ, и҆ со́нмище то́й созда̀ на́мъ.

6

Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο σὺν αὐτοῖς. ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος ἀπὸ τῆς οἰκίας ἔπεμψε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἑκατόνταρχος φίλους λέγων αὐτῷ· Κύριε, μὴ σκύλλου· οὐ γάρ εἰμι ἱκανὸς ἵνα ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην μου εἰσέλθῃς·

І҆и҃съ же и҆дѧ́ше съ ни́ми. И҆ ᲂу҆жѐ є҆мꙋ̀ не дале́че сꙋ́щꙋ ѿ хра́мины, посла̀ къ немꙋ̀ со́тникъ дрꙋ́ги, глаго́лѧ є҆мꙋ̀: гдⷭ҇и, не дви́жисѧ: нѣ́смь бо досто́инъ, да под̾ кро́въ мо́й вни́деши:

7

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρός σε ἐλθεῖν· ἀλλ᾿ εἰπὲ λόγῳ, καὶ ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου.

тѣ́мже ни себѐ досто́йна сотвори́хъ прїитѝ къ тебѣ̀: но рцы̀ сло́во, и҆ и҆сцѣлѣ́етъ ѻ҆́трокъ мо́й:

8

For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπός εἰμι ὑπὸ ἐξουσίαν τασσόμενος, ἔχων ὑπ᾿ ἐμαυτὸν στρατιώτας, καὶ λέγω τούτῳ, πορεύθητι, καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἄλλῳ, ἔρχου, καὶ ἔρχεται, καὶ τῷ δούλῳ μου, ποίησον τοῦτο, καὶ ποιεῖ.

и҆́бо и҆ а҆́зъ человѣ́къ є҆́смь под̾ влады́кою ᲂу҆чине́нъ, и҆мѣ́ѧ под̾ собо́ю во́ины: и҆ глаго́лю семꙋ̀: и҆дѝ, и҆ и҆́детъ: и҆ дрꙋго́мꙋ: прїидѝ, и҆ прїи́детъ: и҆ рабꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀: сотворѝ сїѐ, и҆ сотвори́тъ.

9

When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

ἀκούσας δὲ ταῦτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐθαύμασεν αὐτόν, καὶ στραφεὶς τῷ ἀκολουθοῦντι αὐτῷ ὄχλῳ εἶπε· λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοσαύτην πίστιν εὗρον.

Слы́шавъ же сїѧ̑ і҆и҃съ, чꙋди́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆бра́щьсѧ и҆дꙋ́щемꙋ по не́мъ наро́дꙋ речѐ: гл҃ю ва́мъ, ни во і҆и҃ли толи́ки вѣ́ры ѡ҆брѣто́хъ.

10

And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες οἱ πεμφθέντες εἰς τὸν οἶκον εὗρον τὸν ἀσθενοῦντα δοῦλον ὑγιαίνοντα.

И҆ возвра́щшесѧ по́сланнїи ѡ҆брѣто́ша болѧ́щаго раба̀ и҆сцѣлѣ́вша.

Matthew 13.54-58 (St James) § 56

St James

54

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν, ὥστε ἐκπλήττεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ λέγειν· πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὕτη καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις;

И҆ прише́дъ во ѻ҆те́чествїе своѐ, ᲂу҆ча́ше и҆̀хъ на со́нмищи и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ диви́тисѧ и҆̀мъ и҆ глаго́лати: ѿкꙋ́дꙋ семꙋ̀ премⷣрость сїѧ̀ и҆ си̑лы;

55

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τοῦ τέκτονος υἱός; οὐχὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ λέγεται Μαριὰμ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωσῆς καὶ Σίμων καὶ Ἰούδας;

не се́й ли є҆́сть текто́новъ сн҃ъ; не мт҃и ли є҆гѡ̀ нарица́етсѧ мр҃їа́мъ, и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ і҆ѡсі́й, и҆ сі́мѡнъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́да;

56

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ οὐχὶ πᾶσαι πρὸς ἡμᾶς εἰσι; πόθεν οὖν τούτῳ ταῦτα πάντα;

и҆ сєстры̀ є҆гѡ̀ не всѧ̑ ли въ на́съ сꙋ́ть; ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо семꙋ̀ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑;

57

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

καὶ ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐκ ἔστι προφήτης ἄτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

И҆ блажнѧ́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ. І҆и҃съ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: нѣ́сть прⷪ҇ро́къ без̾ че́сти, то́кмѡ во ѻ҆те́чествїи свое́мъ и҆ въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ.

58

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ δυνάμεις πολλὰς διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν.

И҆ не сотворѝ тꙋ̀ си́лъ мно́гихъ за невѣ́рство и҆́хъ.

24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται, ἀλλὰ μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν.

[Заⷱ҇ 16] А҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слꙋ́шаѧй словесѐ моегѡ̀ и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй посла́вшемꙋ мѧ̀ и҆́мать живо́тъ вѣ́чный, и҆ на сꙋ́дъ не прїи́детъ, но пре́йдетъ ѿ сме́рти въ живо́тъ.

25

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ νεκροὶ ἀκούσονται τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἀκούσαντες ζήσονται·

А҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ грѧде́тъ ча́съ, и҆ нн҃ѣ є҆́сть, є҆гда̀ ме́ртвїи ᲂу҆слы́шатъ гла́съ сн҃а бж҃їѧ и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шавше ѡ҆живꙋ́тъ.

26

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ἔχει ζωὴν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, οὕτως ἔδωκε καὶ τῷ υἱῷ ζωὴν ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ·

Ꙗ҆́коже бо ѻ҆ц҃ъ и҆́мать живо́тъ въ себѣ̀, та́кѡ дадѐ и҆ сн҃ови живо́тъ и҆мѣ́ти въ себѣ̀

27

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ κρίσιν ποιεῖν, ὅτι υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐστί.

и҆ ѡ҆́бласть дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ сꙋ́дъ твори́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́чь є҆́сть.

28

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

μὴ θαυμάζετε τοῦτο· ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ἐν ᾗ πάντες οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις ἀκούσονται τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ,

Не диви́тесѧ семꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ грѧде́тъ ча́съ, во́ньже всѝ сꙋ́щїи во гробѣ́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ гла́съ сн҃а бж҃їѧ,

29

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

καὶ ἐκπορεύσονται οἱ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ποιήσαντες εἰς ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς, οἱ δὲ τὰ φαῦλα πράξαντες εἰς ἀνάστασιν κρίσεως.

и҆ и҆зы́дꙋтъ сотво́ршїи бл҃га̑ѧ въ воскр҃ше́нїе живота̀, а҆ сотво́ршїи ѕла̑ѧ въ воскр҃ше́нїе сꙋда̀.

30

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Οὐ δύναμαι ἐγὼ ποιεῖν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐδέν. καθὼς ἀκούω κρίνω, καὶ ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ δικαία ἐστίν· ὅτι οὐ ζητῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με πατρός.

Не могꙋ̀ а҆́зъ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ твори́ти ничесѡ́же. [Заⷱ҇ 17] Ꙗ҆́коже слы́шꙋ, сꙋждꙋ̀, и҆ сꙋ́дъ мо́й првⷣнъ є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆щꙋ̀ во́ли моеѧ̀, но во́ли посла́вшагѡ мѧ̀ ѻ҆ц҃а̀.
