Ephesians 3:8–21 § 223

Ephesians 3:8–21 § 223

Brethren, To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all people see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the Church unto the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this reason I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height; and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

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.
