2 Thessalonians 3:6–18 § 277

2 Thessalonians 3:6–18 § 277

Brethren, we command you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. And if anyone does not obey our word in this Epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every Epistle; so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Luke 20.19-26 § 101

Luke 20.19-26 § 101

19

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

Καὶ ἐζήτησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν· ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὰς παραβολὰς ἔλεγε.

[Заⷱ҇ 101] И҆ взыска́ша а҆рхїере́є и҆ кни́жницы возложи́ти на́нь рꙋ́цѣ въ то́й ча́съ и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ наро́да: разꙋмѣ́ша бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ къ ни̑мъ при́тчꙋ сїю̀ речѐ.

20

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

καὶ παρατηρήσαντες ἀπέστειλαν ἐγκαθέτους, ὑποκρινομένους ἑαυτοὺς δικαίους εἶναι, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται αὐτοῦ λόγου εἰς τὸ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ τοῦ ἡγεμόνος.

И҆ наблю́дше посла́ша ла́ѧтєли {навѣ́тникѡвъ}, притворѧ́ющихъ себѐ пра́ведники бы́ти: да и҆́мꙋтъ є҆го̀ въ словесѝ, во є҆́же преда́ти є҆го̀ нача́льствꙋ и҆ ѡ҆́бласти и҆ге́мѡновѣ.

21

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὀρθῶς λέγεις καὶ διδάσκεις, καὶ οὐ λαμβάνεις πρόσωπον, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ διδάσκεις·

И҆ вопроси́ша є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́вѡ гл҃еши и҆ ᲂу҆чи́ши, и҆ не на лица̑ зри́ши, но вои́стиннꙋ пꙋтѝ бж҃їю ᲂу҆чи́ши:

22

Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν Καίσαρι φόρον δοῦναι ἢ οὔ;

досто́итъ ли на́мъ ке́сареви да́нь даѧ́ти, и҆лѝ нѝ;

23

But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

κατανοήσας δὲ αὐτῶν τὴν πανουργίαν εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· τί με πειράζετε;

Разꙋмѣ́въ же и҆́хъ лꙋка́вство, речѐ къ ни̑мъ: что́ мѧ и҆скꙋша́ете;

24

Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

δείξατέ μοι δηνάριον· τίνος ἔχει εἰκόνα καὶ ἐπιγραφήν; ἀποκριθέντες δὲ εἶπον· Καίσαρος.

покажи́те мѝ ца́тꙋ {дина́рїй}: чі́й и҆́мать ѡ҆́бразъ и҆ надписа́нїе; Ѿвѣща́вше же реко́ша: ке́саревъ.

25

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀπόδοτε τοίνυν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: воздади́те ᲂу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆̀же ке́сарєва, ке́сареви, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же бж҃їѧ, бг҃ови.

26

And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσαν ἐπιλαβέσθαι αὐτοῦ ρήματος ἐναντίον τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ θαυμάσαντες ἐπὶ τῇ ἀποκρίσει αὐτοῦ ἐσίγησαν.

И҆ не мого́ша зазрѣ́ти гл҃го́ла є҆гѡ̀ пред̾ людьмѝ: и҆ диви́шасѧ ѡ҆ ѿвѣ́тѣ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆молча́ша.
