2 Corinthians 11:31–12:9 § 194
Brethren, The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I do not lie. In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to apprehend me; but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands. It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago (whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows;) such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man; (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows;) how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that hears from me. And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I besought the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Luke 6.31-36
§ 26
Luke 6.31-36 § 26
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
καὶ καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως.
[Заⷱ҇ 26] И҆ ꙗ҆́коже хо́щете да творѧ́тъ ва́мъ человѣ́цы, и҆ вы̀ твори́те и҆̀мъ та́кожде.
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσι.
И҆ а҆́ще лю́бите лю́бѧщыѧ вы̀, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы лю́бѧщыѧ и҆̀хъ лю́бѧтъ.
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
καὶ ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι.
И҆ а҆́ще благотворитѐ благотворѧ́щымъ ва́мъ, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы то́жде творѧ́тъ.
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
καὶ ἐὰν δανείζητε παρ᾿ ὧν ἐλπίζετε ἀπολαβεῖν, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς δανείζουσιν ἵνα ἀπολάβωσι τὰ ἴσα.
И҆ а҆́ще взаи́мъ даетѐ, ѿ ни́хже ча́ете воспрїѧ́ти, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть, и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы грѣ́шникѡмъ взаи́мъ дава́ютъ, да воспрїи́мꙋтъ ра̑внаѧ.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανείζετε μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες, καὶ ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς, καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ ὑψίστου, ὅτι αὐτὸς χρηστός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς.
Ѻ҆ба́че люби́те врагѝ ва́шѧ, и҆ благотвори́те, и҆ взаи́мъ да́йте, ничесѡ́же ча́юще: и҆ бꙋ́детъ мзда̀ ва́ша мно́га, и҆ бꙋ́дете сы́нове вы́шнѧгѡ: ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й бл҃гъ є҆́сть на безблагода̑тныѧ {неблагода̑рныѧ} и҆ ѕлы̑ѧ.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Γίνεσθε οὖν οἰκτίρμονες, καθὼς καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν οἰκτίρμων ἐστί.
Бꙋ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо милосе́рди, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ млⷭ҇рдъ є҆́сть.
