Philippians 2:16–23
§ 242
Philippians 2:16–23 § 242
Brethren, I have not run in vain or labored in vain. Yes, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me. But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Jesus Christ. But you know his proven worth, that as a son with a father he has served with me in the Gospel. Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Luke 11.34-41
§ 60
Luke 11.34-41 § 60
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
ὁ λύχνος τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ ὀφθαλμός· ὅταν οὖν ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ἁπλοῦς ᾖ, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου φωτεινόν ἐστιν· ἐπὰν δὲ πονηρὸς ᾖ, καὶ τὸ σῶμά σου σκοτεινόν.
[Заⷱ҇ 60] Свѣти́льникъ тѣ́лꙋ є҆́сть ѻ҆́ко: є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ѻ҆́ко твоѐ про́сто бꙋ́детъ, всѐ тѣ́ло твоѐ свѣ́тло бꙋ́детъ: є҆гда́ же лꙋка́во бꙋ́детъ, и҆ тѣ́ло твоѐ те́мно:
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
σκόπει οὖν μὴ τὸ φῶς τὸ ἐν σοὶ σκότος ἐστίν.
блюдѝ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆да̀ свѣ́тъ, и҆́же въ тебѣ̀, тьма̀ є҆́сть.
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
εἰ οὖν τὸ σῶμά σου ὅλον φωτεινόν, μὴ ἔχον τι μέρος σκοτεινόν, ἔσται φωτεινὸν ὅλον ὡς ὅταν ὁ λύχνος τῇ ἀστραπῇ φωτίζῃ σε.
А҆́ще бо тѣ́ло твоѐ всѐ свѣ́тло, не и҆мы́й нѣ́кїѧ ча́сти те́мны, бꙋ́детъ свѣ́тло всѐ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆гда̀ свѣти́льникъ блиста́нїемъ просвѣща́етъ тѧ̀.
And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
Ἐν δὲ τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτὸν ταῦτα ἠρώτα αὐτὸν Φαρισαῖός τις ὅπως ἀριστήσῃ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ· εἰσελθὼν δὲ ἀνέπεσεν.
Є҆гда́ же гл҃аше, молѧ́ше є҆го̀ фарїсе́й нѣ́кїй, да ѡ҆бѣ́дꙋетъ ᲂу҆ негѡ̀: вше́дъ же возлежѐ.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
ὁ δὲ Φαρισαῖος ἰδὼν ἐθαύμασεν ὅτι οὐ πρῶτον ἐβαπτίσθη πρὸ τοῦ ἀρίστου.
Фарїсе́й же ви́дѣвъ диви́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не пре́жде крести́сѧ {не пе́рвѣе ᲂу҆мы́сѧ} пре́жде ѡ҆бѣ́да.
And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
εἶπε δὲ ὁ Κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· νῦν ὑμεῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τὸ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ποτηρίου καὶ τοῦ πίνακος καθαρίζετε, τὸ δὲ ἔσωθεν ὑμῶν γέμει ἁρπαγῆς καὶ πονηρίας.
Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ немꙋ̀: нн҃ѣ вы̀, фарїсе́є, внѣ̑шнѧѧ стклѧ́ницы и҆ блю́да ѡ҆чища́ете, внꙋ́треннее же ва́ше по́лно грабле́нїѧ є҆́сть и҆ лꙋка́вства.
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
ἄφρονες, οὐχ ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔξωθεν καὶ τὸ ἔσωθεν ἐποίησε;
Безꙋ́мнїи, не и҆́же ли сотворѝ внѣ́шнее, и҆ внꙋ́треннее сотвори́лъ є҆́сть;
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἅπαντα καθαρὰ ὑμῖν ἔσται.
Ѻ҆ба́че ѿ сꙋ́щихъ дади́те ми́лостыню: и҆ сѐ, всѧ̑ чи̑ста ва́мъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
