1 Thessalonians 2:20–3:8
§ 267
1 Thessalonians 2:20–3:8 § 267
Brethren, you are our glory and joy … Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone, and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith, that no man should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know. For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain. But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith. For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
Luke 17.20-25
§ 86
Luke 17.20-25 § 86
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Ἐπερωτηθεὶς δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν Φαρισαίων πότε ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔρχεται ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ μετὰ παρατηρήσεως,
[Заⷱ҇ 86] Вопроше́нъ же бы́въ ѿ фарїсє́й, когда̀ прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе, ѿвѣща́въ и҆̀мъ речѐ: не прїи́детъ црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе съ соблюде́нїемъ {со ᲂу҆смотре́нїемъ}:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
οὐδὲ ἐροῦσιν ἰδοὺ ὧδε ἢ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
нижѐ рекꙋ́тъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: ѻ҆́ндѣ. Се́ бо, црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе внꙋ́трь ва́съ є҆́сть.
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ὅτε ἐπιθυμήσετε μίαν τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἰδεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε.
Рече́ же ко ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ (свои̑мъ): прїи́дꙋтъ дні́е, є҆гда̀ вожделѣ́ете є҆ди́нагѡ днѐ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческагѡ ви́дѣти, и҆ не ᲂу҆́зрите:
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
καὶ ἐροῦσιν ὑμῖν· ἰδοὺ ὧδε, ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ· μὴ ἀπέλθητε μηδὲ διώξητε.
и҆ рекꙋ́тъ ва́мъ: сѐ здѣ̀, и҆лѝ: сѐ, ѻ҆́ндѣ: не и҆зы́дите, ни пожени́те:
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ ἀστραπὴ ἀστράπτουσα ἐκ τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν λάμπει, οὕτως ἔσται καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ.
ꙗ҆́кѡ бо мо́лнїѧ блиста́ющисѧ ѿ поднебе́сныѧ на поднебе́снѣй свѣ́титсѧ: та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй въ де́нь сво́й.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
πρῶτον δὲ δεῖ αὐτὸν πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης.
Пре́жде же подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ мно́гѡ пострада́ти и҆ и҆скꙋше́нꙋ {ѿве́рженꙋ} бы́ти ѿ ро́да сегѡ̀.
