مثال القاضي الظالم والأرملة/ ُصَلُّوا في كُلَّ حِينٍ وَلا تمَلُّوا
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا18/من01حتى08/”قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ لِتَلامِيذِهِ مَثَلاً في أَنَّهُ يَنْبَغي أَنْ يُصَلُّوا كُلَّ حِينٍ وَلا يَمَلُّوا، قَال: «كانَ في إِحْدَى المُدُنِ قَاضٍ لا يَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا يَهَابُ النَّاس. وَكانَ في تِلْكَ المَدِينَةِ أَرْمَلَةٌ تَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ قَائِلَة: أَنْصِفْني مِنْ خَصْمي! وظَلَّ يَرْفُضُ طَلَبَها مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَن، ولكِنْ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ قَالَ في نَفْسِهِ: حَتَّى ولَوكُنْتُ لا أَخَافُ اللهَ وَلا أَهَابُ النَّاس، فَلأَنَّ هذِهِ الأَرْمَلةَ تُزْعِجُني سَأُنْصِفُها، لِئَلاَّ تَظَلَّ تَأْتِي إِلى غَيْرِ نِهَايةٍ فَتُوجِعَ رَأْسِي!». ثُمَّ قالَ الرَّبّ: «إِسْمَعُوا مَا يَقُولُ قَاضِي الظُّلْم. أَلا يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ الصَّارِخِينَ إِلَيْهِ لَيْلَ نَهَار، ولو تَمَهَّلَ في الٱسْتِجَابَةِ لَهُم؟ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّهُ سَيُنْصِفُهُم سَرِيعًا. ولكِنْ مَتَى جَاءَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان، أَتُراهُ يَجِدُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ إِيْمَانًا؟».

Parable Of the Widow & The Judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people/Pray always and don’t lose heart
Luke 18/01-08: “Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent. “For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’”

فَهَلْ تَجَزَّأَ المَسِيح؟ أَلَعَلَّ بُولُسَ قَدْ صُلِبَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُم؟ أَمْ بِٱسْمِ بُولُسَ تَعَمَّدْتُم
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل قورنتس01/من10حتى17/”يا إِخوَتِي، أُنَاشِدُكُم، بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، أَنْ تَقُولُوا جَمِيعُكُم قَوْلاً وَاحِدًا، وأَنْ لا يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱنْقِسَامَات، بَلْ تَكُونُوا مُلْتَئِمِينَ بِفِكْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ورَأْيٍ وَاحِد. لَقِدْ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُم مِنْ بَيْتِ كَلْوَة، يَا إِخْوَتِي، أَنَّ بَيْنَكُم خُصُومَات. أَعْني أَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُم يَقُول: أَنَا لِبُولُس! وأَنَا لأَبُلُّوس! وأَنَا لِكِيفَا! وأَنَا لِلمَسيح! فَهَلْ تَجَزَّأَ المَسِيح؟ أَلَعَلَّ بُولُسَ قَدْ صُلِبَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُم؟ أَمْ بِٱسْمِ بُولُسَ تَعَمَّدْتُم؟ أَشْكُرُ اللهَ عَلى أَنِّي مَا عَمَّدْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْكُم، غَيْرَ قِرِسْبُسَ وغَايُوس، لِئَلاَّ يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ إِنَّكُم بِٱسْمِي تَعَمَّدْتَم! غَيْرَ أَنِّي عَمَّدْتُ أَيْضًا بَيْتَ إِسْطِفَانَا. مَا عَدَا أُولئِك، لا أَدْري هَلْ عَمَّدْتُ أَحَدًا آخَر! فَالمَسِيحُ لَمْ يُرْسِلْنِي لأُعَمِّدَ بَلْ لأُبَشِّر، لا بِحِكْمَةِ الكَلاَم، لِئَلاَّ يُبْطَلَ صَلِيبُ المَسِيح”.

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul
First Letter to the Corinthians 01/10-17: “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you should be in agreement and that there should be no divisions among you, but that you should be united in the same mind and the same purpose. For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. What I mean is that each of you says, ‘I belong to Paul’, or ‘I belong to Apollos’, or ‘I belong to Cephas’, or ‘I belong to Christ.’ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.”
