Titus 1:15–2:10
§ 301
Titus 1:15–2:10 § 301
My son Titus, unto the pure all things are pure, but unto those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate… But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine … that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, sincerity, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
Mark 13.1-8
§ 58
Mark 13.1-8 § 58
AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ λέγει αὐτῷ εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ· διδάσκαλε, ἴδε ποταποὶ λίθοι καὶ ποταπαὶ οἰκοδομαί.
[Заⷱ҇ 58] И҆ и҆сходѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ це́ркве, глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, ви́ждь, каково̀ ка́менїе и҆ какова̑ зда̑нїѧ.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· βλέπεις ταύτας τὰς μεγάλας οἰκοδομάς; οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ ὧδε λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον ὃς οὐ μὴ καταλυθῇ.
И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ви́диши ли сїѧ̑ вели̑каѧ зда̑нїѧ; не и҆́мать ѡ҆ста́ти здѣ̀ ка́мень на ка́мени, и҆́же не разори́тсѧ.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Καὶ καθημένου αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν κατέναντι τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν κατ᾿ ἰδίαν Πέτρος καὶ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης καὶ Ἀνδρέας·
И҆ сѣдѧ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ на горѣ̀ є҆леѡ́нстѣй прѧ́мѡ це́ркве, вопроша́хꙋ є҆го̀ є҆ди́наго пе́тръ и҆ і҆а́кѡвъ, и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ и҆ а҆ндре́й:
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
εἰπὲ ἡμῖν πότε ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ πάντα ταῦτα συντελεῖσθαι;
рцы̀ на́мъ, когда̀ сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ; и҆ ко́е (бꙋ́детъ) зна́менїе, є҆гда̀ и҆́мꙋтъ всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ сконча́тисѧ;
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκριθεὶς ἤρξατο λέγειν αὐτοῖς· βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ.
І҆и҃съ же ѿвѣща́въ и҆̀мъ, нача́тъ гл҃ати: блюди́тесѧ, да не кто̀ ва́съ прельсти́тъ.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου λέγοντες ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ πολλοὺς πλανήσουσιν.
Мно́зи бо прїи́дꙋтъ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: и҆ мнѡ́ги прельстѧ́тъ.
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
ὅταν δὲ ἀκούσητε πολέμους καὶ ἀκοὰς πολέμων, μὴ θροεῖσθε· δεῖ γὰρ γενέσθαι, ἀλλ᾿ οὔπω τὸ τέλος.
Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шите бра̑ни и҆ слы̑шанїѧ бра́немъ, не ᲂу҆жаса́йтесѧ: подоба́етъ бо бы́ти: но не ᲂу҆̀ кончи́на.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔσονται σεισμοὶ κατὰ τόπους, καὶ ἔσονται λιμοὶ καὶ ταραχαί.
Воста́нетъ бо ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ, и҆ ца́рство на ца́рство: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ трꙋ́си по мѣ́стѡмъ, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ гла̑ди и҆ мѧтє́жи. Нача́ло болѣ́знемъ сїѧ̑.
