Colossians 2:20–3:3
§ 256
Colossians 2:20–3:3 § 256
Brethren, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to regulations (“ … Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” which all concern things which perish with the using), according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh… If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Luke 12.42-48
§ 68
Luke 12.42-48 § 68
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος· τίς ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ πιστὸς οἰκονόμος καὶ φρόνιμος, ὃν καταστήσει ὁ κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς θεραπείας αὐτοῦ τοῦ διδόναι ἐν καιρῷ τὸ σιτομέτριον;
Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь: [Заⷱ҇ 68] кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо є҆́сть вѣ́рный строи́тель и҆ мꙋ́дрый, є҆го́же поста́витъ госпо́дь над̾ че́лѧдїю свое́ю, даѧ́ти во вре́мѧ житомѣ́рїе;
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
μακάριος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος, ὃν ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει οὕτω ποιοῦντα.
Бл҃же́нъ ра́бъ то́й, є҆го́же прише́дъ госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ творѧ́ща та́кѡ:
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
ἀληθῶς λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ καταστήσει αὐτόν.
вои́стиннꙋ гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ над̾ всѣ́мъ и҆мѣ́нїемъ свои́мъ поста́витъ є҆го̀.
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, χρονίζει ὁ κύριός μου ἔρχεσθαι, καὶ ἄρξηται τύπτειν τοὺς παῖδας καὶ τὰς παιδίσκας, ἐσθίειν τε καὶ πίνειν καὶ μεθύσκεσθαι,
А҆́ще же рече́тъ ра́бъ то́й въ се́рдцы свое́мъ: косни́тъ господи́нъ мо́й прїитѝ: и҆ на́чнетъ би́ти рабы̑ и҆ рабы̑ни, ꙗ҆́сти же и҆ пи́ти и҆ ᲂу҆пива́тисѧ:
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
ἥξει ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ οὐ προσδοκᾷ καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ᾗ οὐ γινώσκει, καὶ διχοτομήσει αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων θήσει.
прїи́детъ господи́нъ раба̀ тогѡ̀ въ де́нь, во́ньже не ча́етъ, и҆ въ ча́съ, во́ньже не вѣ́сть: и҆ расте́шетъ є҆го̀, и҆ ча́сть є҆гѡ̀ съ невѣ́рными положи́тъ.
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὁ δοῦλος, ὁ γνοὺς τὸ θέλημα τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ καὶ μὴ ἑτοιμάσας μηδὲ ποιήσας πρὸς τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, δαρήσεται πολλάς·
То́й же ра́бъ вѣ́дѣвый во́лю господи́на своегѡ̀, и҆ не ᲂу҆гото́вавъ, ни сотвори́въ по во́ли є҆гѡ̀, бїе́нъ бꙋ́детъ мно́гѡ:
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
ὁ δὲ μὴ γνούς, ποιήσας δὲ ἄξια πληγῶν, δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. παντὶ δὲ ᾧ ἐδόθη πολύ, πολὺ ζητηθήσεται παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾧ παρέθεντο πολύ, περισσότερον αἰτήσουσιν αὐτόν.
невѣ́дѣвый же, сотвори́въ же достѡ́йнаѧ ра́намъ, бїе́нъ бꙋ́детъ ма́лѡ. [Заⷱ҇ 69] Всѧ́комꙋ же, є҆мꙋ́же дано̀ бꙋ́детъ мно́гѡ, мно́гѡ взы́щетсѧ ѿ негѡ̀: и҆ є҆мꙋ́же преда́ша мно́жайше, мно́жайше про́сѧтъ {и҆стѧ́жꙋтъ} ѿ негѡ̀.
