ظَهَرَ بِرُّ اللهِ بِالإِيْمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ المَسيح، لِجَميعِ المُؤْمِنِين، دُونَ تَمْيِيز؛ لأَنَّ الجَمِيعَ قَدْ خَطِئُوا، ويَنْقُصُهُم مَجْدُ الله
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة03/من19حتى27/:”يا إخوَتِي، نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا تَقُولُهُ الشَّرِيعَةُ تَقُولُهُ لِلَّذِينَ هُم في حُكْمِ الشَّرِيعَة، لِكَي يُسَدَّ كُلُّ فَمٍ، وَيَظْهَرَ العَالَمُ كُلُّهُ أَمَامَ اللهِ مُذْنِبًا. لِذلِكَ لَنْ يُبَرَّرَ أَحَدٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ بِأَعْمَالِ الشَّرِيعَة، لأَنَّهَا بِالشَّرِيعَةِ تُعْرَفُ الخَطيئَة. أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ بِرُّ الله بِدُونِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَتَشْهَدُ لَهُ الشَّرِيعَةُ والأَنْبِيَاء؛ ظَهَرَ بِرُّ اللهِ بِالإِيْمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ المَسيح، لِجَميعِ المُؤْمِنِين، دُونَ تَمْيِيز؛ لأَنَّ الجَمِيعَ قَدْ خَطِئُوا، ويَنْقُصُهُم مَجْدُ الله، لكِنَّهُم يُبَرَّرُونَ مَجَّانًا بِنِعْمَةِ الله، بِالفِدَاءِ الَّذي تَمَّ في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع؛ وقَدْ جَعَلَهُ اللهُ كَفَّارَةً بِدَمِهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ الإِيْمَان، وَبِذلِكَ أَظْهَرَ اللهُ بِرَّهُ، إِذْ تَغَاضَى عَنِ الخَطَايَا السَّالِفَة، وٱحْتَمَلَهَا، فَأَظْهَرَ بِرَّهُ أَيْضًا في الوَقْتِ الحَاضِر، لِكَي يَكُونَ اللهُ بَارًّا وَمُبَرِّرًا لِمَنْ هُمْ عَلى الإِيْمَانِ بِيَسُوع. إِذًا فَأَيْنَ ٱلٱفْتِخَار؟ لَقَدْ أُلْغِيَ! وَبِأَيِّ شَرِيعَة؟ أَبِشَرِيعَةِ ٱلأَعْمَال؟ كَلاَّ! بَلْ بِشَرِيعَةِ ٱلإِيْمَان!”

They are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Letter to the Romans 03/19-27/:”Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For ‘no human being will be justified in his sight’ by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. But now, irrespective of law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,
since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus. Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of faith.”.

جِيْلٌ شِرِّيرٌ فَاجِرٌ يَطْلُبُ آيَة، ولَنْ يُعْطَى آيَةً إِلاَّ آيَةَ يُونَانَ النَّبِيّ
إنجيل القدّيس متّى12/من38حتى45/:”أَجَابَ بَعْضُ الكَتَبَةِ والفَرِّيِسِيِّينَ يَسوعَ قَائِلين: «يَا مُعَلِّم، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى مِنْكَ آيَة». فَأَجَابَ وقَالَ لَهُم: «جِيْلٌ شِرِّيرٌ فَاجِرٌ يَطْلُبُ آيَة، ولَنْ يُعْطَى آيَةً إِلاَّ آيَةَ يُونَانَ النَّبِيّ. فكَمَا كَانَ يُونَانُ في بَطْنِ الحُوتِ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وثَلاثَ لَيَال، كَذلِكَ سَيَكُونُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَانِ في قَلْبِ الأَرْضِ ثَلاثةَ أَيَّامٍ وثَلاثَ لَيَال. رِجَالُ نِينَوَى سَيَقُومُونَ في الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هذَا الجِيلِ ويَدِينُونَهُ، لأَنَّهُم تَابُوا بِإِنْذَارِ يُونَان، وهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَان!مَلِكَةُ الجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ في الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هذَا الجِيلِ وتَدِينُهُ، لأَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَان، وهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَان! إِنَّ الرُّوحَ النَّجِس، إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الإِنْسَان، يَطُوفُ في أَمَاكِنَ لا مَاءَ فيهَا، يَطْلُبُ الرَّاحَةَ فلا يَجِدُهَا. حينَئِذٍ يَقُول: سَأَعُودُ إِلى بَيْتِي الَّذي خَرَجْتُ مِنْهُ. ويَعُودُ فَيَجِدُهُ خَالِيًا، مَكْنُوسًا، مُزَيَّنًا. حينَئِذٍ يَذْهَبُ ويَجْلُبُ مَعَهُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ آخَرِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ شَرًّا، ويَدْخُلُونَ ويَسْكُنُونَ في ذلِكَ الإِنْسَان، فَتَكُونُ حَالَتُهُ الأَخِيْرَةُ أَسْوَأَ مِنْ حَالَتِهِ الأُولى. هكَذَا سَيَكُونُ أَيْضًا لِهذَا الجِيلِ الشِّرِّير!».

An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 12/38-45/:”Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.’But he answered them, ‘An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was for three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth. The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgement with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here! The queen of the South will rise up at the judgement with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here! ‘When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting-place, but it finds Then it says, “I will return to my house from which I came.” When it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So will it be also with this evil generation”
