1 Corinthians 6:20–7:12 § 136

1 Corinthians 6:20–7:12 § 136

Brethren, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's… Now concerning the things of which you wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife unto her husband. The wife has no authority over her own body, but the husband. And likewise the husband has no authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, so that Satan does not tempt you through your lack of self-control. But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord: let not the wife depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband divorce his wife. But to the rest speak I, and not the Lord … If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not divorce her…

Galatians 4:22–31 § 210ctr (St Anna)

Galatians 4:22–31 (St Anna) § 210ctr

St Anna

Brethren, Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh, and he of the free woman was by promise, which things are an allegory. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sínai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hágar—for this Hágar is Mount Sínai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not! Break forth and shout, thou that travailest not! For the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband”… Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free…

Matthew 14.1-13 § 57

Matthew 14.1-13 § 57

1

AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

Ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ ἤκουσεν Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης τὴν ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ.

[Заⷱ҇ 57] Въ то̀ вре́мѧ ᲂу҆слы́ша и҆́рѡдъ четвертовла́стникъ слꙋ́хъ і҆и҃совъ

2

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

καὶ εἶπε τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής· αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ.

и҆ речѐ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: се́й є҆́сть і҆ѡа́ннъ крⷭ҇ти́тель: то́й воскре́се ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, и҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди си̑лы дѣ́ютсѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ.

3

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔθετο ἐν φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρωδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.

И҆́рѡдъ бо є҆́мь і҆ѡа́нна, свѧза̀ є҆го̀ и҆ всадѝ въ темни́цꙋ, и҆рѡдїа́ды ра́ди жены̀ фїлі́ппа бра́та своегѡ̀:

4

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

ἔλεγε γὰρ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· οὐκ ἔξεστί σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν.

глаго́лаше бо є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́ннъ: не досто́итъ тѝ и҆мѣ́ти є҆ѧ̀.

5

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

καὶ θέλων αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐφοβήθη τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ὡς προφήτην αὐτὸν εἶχον.

И҆ хотѧ́щь є҆го̀ ᲂу҆би́ти, ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ наро́да, занѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ прⷪ҇ро́ка є҆го̀ и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ.

6

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

γενεσίων δὲ ἀγομένων τοῦ Ἡρῴδου ὠρχήσατο ἡ θυγάτηρ τῆς Ἡρωδιάδος ἐν τῷ μέσῳ καὶ ἤρεσε τῷ Ἡρῴδη·

Дню́ же бы́вшꙋ рождества̀ и҆́рѡдова, плѧса̀ дщѝ и҆рѡдїа́дина посредѣ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆годѝ и҆́рѡдови:

7

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

ὅθεν μεθ᾿ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται.

тѣ́мже и҆ съ клѧ́твою и҆зречѐ є҆́й да́ти, є҆гѡ́же а҆́ще воспро́ситъ.

8

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

ἡ δέ, προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτῆς, δός μοι, φησίν, ὧδε ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ.

Ѻ҆на́ же нава́ждена ма́терїю свое́ю, да́ждь мѝ, речѐ, здѣ̀ на блю́дѣ главꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́нна крⷭ҇ти́телѧ.

9

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

καὶ ἐλυπήθη ὁ βασιλεύς, διὰ δὲ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους ἐκέλευσε δοθῆναι,

И҆ печа́ленъ бы́сть ца́рь: клѧ́твы же ра́ди и҆ за возлежа́щихъ съ ни́мъ, повелѣ̀ да́ти (є҆́й)

10

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

καὶ πέμψας ἀπεκεφάλισε τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

и҆ посла́въ ᲂу҆сѣ́кнꙋ і҆ѡа́нна въ темни́цѣ.

11

And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

καὶ ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ ἤνεγκε τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς.

И҆ принесо́ша главꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ на блю́дѣ и҆ да́ша дѣви́цѣ: и҆ ѿнесѐ ма́тери свое́й.

12

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦραν τὸ σῶμα καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτό, καὶ ἐλθόντες ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰησοῦ.

И҆ пристꙋ́пльше ᲂу҆ченицы̀ є҆гѡ̀ взѧ́ша тѣ́ло (є҆гѡ̀) и҆ погребо́ша є҆̀: и҆ прише́дше возвѣсти́ша і҆и҃сови.

13

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν ἐν πλοίῳ εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κατ᾿ ἰδίαν· καἰ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ὄχλοι ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πεζῇ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων.

И҆ слы́шавъ і҆и҃съ ѿи́де ѿтꙋ́дꙋ въ кораблѝ въ пꙋ́сто мѣ́сто є҆ди́нъ {ѡ҆со́бь}: и҆ слы́шавше наро́ди по не́мъ и҆до́ша пѣ́ши ѿ градѡ́въ.

Luke 8.16-21 § 36 (St Anna)

Luke 8.16-21 (St Anna) § 36

St Anna

16

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπὶ λυχνίας ἐπιτίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσι τὸ φῶς.

[Заⷱ҇ 36] Никто́же (ᲂу҆̀бо) свѣти́льника вже́гъ, покрыва́етъ є҆го̀ сосꙋ́домъ, и҆лѝ под̾ ѻ҆́дръ подлага́етъ: но на свѣ́щникъ возлага́етъ, да входѧ́щїи ви́дѧтъ свѣ́тъ.

17

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

οὐ γάρ ἐστι κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ γνωσθήσεται καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.

Нѣ́сть бо та́йно, є҆́же не ꙗ҆вле́но бꙋ́детъ: нижѐ ᲂу҆тае́но, є҆́же не позна́етсѧ и҆ въ ꙗ҆вле́нїе прїи́детъ.

18

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

Блюди́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо, ка́кѡ слы́шите: и҆́же бо и҆́мать, да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не и҆́мать, и҆ є҆́же мни́тсѧ и҆мѣ́ѧ, во́зметсѧ ѿ негѡ̀.

19

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

Παρεγένοντο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.

Прїидо́ша же къ немꙋ̀ мт҃и и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не можа́хꙋ бесѣ́довати къ немꙋ̀ наро́да ра́ди.

20

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη αὐτῷ λεγόντων· ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν σε θέλοντες.

И҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: мт҃и твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ внѣ̀ стоѧ́тъ, ви́дѣти тѧ̀ хотѧ́ще.

21

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες αὐτόν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: ма́ти моѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ моѧ̑ сі́и сꙋ́ть, слы́шащїи сло́во бж҃їе, и҆ творѧ́щїи є҆̀.
