Book of Common Prayer

⁸ Already ēdē you have eimi all you want korennymi! Already ēdē you are rich plouteō! Without chōris us hēmeis you have begun to reign basileuō! And kai would ophelon that you did reign basileuō, so that hina · kai we hēmeis could reign with symbasileuō you hymeis! ⁹ For gar it seems to me dokeō that · ho God theos has displayed apodeiknymi us hēmeis, the ho apostles apostolos, last eschatos, as hōs men sentenced to death epithanatios, because hoti we have become ginomai a spectacle theatron to the ho world kosmos, both kai to angels angelos and kai to men anthrōpos. ¹⁰ We hēmeis are fools mōros for dia Christ Christos, but de you hymeis are men of wisdom phronimos in en Christ Christos! We hēmeis are weak asthenēs, but de you hymeis are strong ischuros! You hymeis are distinguished endoxos, but de we hēmeis are dishonored atimos! ¹¹ To achri this ho present arti hour hōra · kai we are hungry peinaō and kai thirsty dipsaō, · kai poorly clothed gymniteuō, · kai knocked about kolaphizō, and kai homeless astateō. ¹² · kai We labor kopiaō, working ergazomai with ho our own idios hands cheir. When reviled loidoreō, we bless eulogeō; when persecuted diōkō, we endure anechōmai; ¹³ when slandered dysphēmeō, we respond kindly parakaleō. We have become ginomai, as hōs it were , the scum perikatharma of the ho world kosmos, the refuse peripsēma of all things pas, even heōs now arti.

¹⁴ I am graphō not ou writing graphō these things houtos to shame entrepō you hymeis, but alla to admonish noutheteō you as hōs my egō dear agapētos children teknon. ¹⁵ For gar though ean you have echō innumerable myrios guardians paidagōgos in en Christ Christos, you do not ou have many polys fathers patēr, because gar I egō became gennaō your hymeis father gennaō in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous through dia the ho gospel euangelion. ¹⁶ I urge parakaleō you hymeis, therefore oun, be ginomai imitators mimētēs of me egō. ¹⁷ That is why dia I sent pempō to you hymeis Timothy Timotheos, who hos is eimi my egō beloved agapētos and kai faithful pistos child teknon in en the Lord kyrios. He hos will remind anamimnēskō you hymeis of ho my egō ways hodos · ho in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous, as kathōs I teach didaskō them everywhere pantachou in en every pas church ekklēsia. ¹⁸ Some tis have become arrogant physioō, as hōs though I egō were not mē coming erchomai · de to pros you hymeis. ¹⁹ But de I will come erchomai to pros you hymeis soon tacheōs, if ean the ho Lord kyrios wills thelō, and kai I will find ginōskō out not ou the ho speech logos of these ho arrogant physioō people but alla their ho power dynamis. ²⁰ For gar the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is not ou a matter of en talk logos but alla of en power dynamis. ²¹ What tis would you prefer thelō? Shall I come erchomai to pros you hymeis with en a rod rhabdos of correction or ē with en love agapē in a spirit pneuma of gentleness prautēs?

²¹ “ You have heard akouō that hoti it was said legō to those ho of old archaios, ‘ You shall not ou murder phoneuō,’ and de, ‘ whoever hos murders phoneuō will be eimi liable enochos to ho judgment krisis.’ ²² But de I egō say legō to you hymeis that hoti anyone pas who ho is angry orgizō with ho his autos brother adelphos will be eimi liable enochos to ho judgment krisis; and de whoever hos says legō to ho his autos brother adelphos, ‘ Raka rhaka,’ will be eimi liable enochos to the ho council synedrion; and de whoever hos says legō, ‘ You fool mōros!’ will be eimi liable enochos to eis the ho hell geenna of ho fire pyr. ²³ Therefore oun if ean you are bringing prospherō · ho your sy gift dōron to epi the ho altar thusiastērion and there kakei remember mimnēskomai that hoti · ho your sy brother adelphos has echō something tis against kata you sy, ²⁴ leave aphiēmi your sy gift dōron there ekei · ho before emprosthen the ho altar thusiastērion and kai first prōton go hypagō and be reconciled diallassomai to ho your sy brother adelphos, and kai then tote come erchomai and offer prospherō · ho your sy gift dōron. ²⁵ Come eimi to terms eunoeō quickly tachus with ho your sy accuser antidikos while heōs hostis you are eimi still with meta him autos on en the ho way hodos to court, or mēpote your accuser antidikos may hand paradidōmi you sy over · ho to the ho judge kritēs, and kai the ho judge kritēs to the ho guard hypēretēs, and kai you be thrown ballō into eis prison phylakē. ²⁶ I tell legō you sy the truth amēn, you will certainly not ou get exerchomai out of there ekeithen until heōs an you have paid apodidōmi the ho last eschatos penny kodrantēs.
