فاللهُ مَا دعَانَا إِلى النَّجاسَة، بَلْ إِلى القَدَاسَة. إِذًا فَمَنْ يَحْتَقِرُ أَخَاهُ لا يَحْتَقِرُ إِنْسَانًا، بَلْ يَحْتَقِرُ اللهَ الَّذي يَمْنَحُكُم رُوحَهُ القُدُّوس
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل تسالونيقي04/من01حتى12/:”يا إخوَتِي، لَقَدْ تَعَلَّمْتُم مِنَّا كَيفَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا وتُرْضُوا اللهَ، وهكَذا أَنْتُم سَالِكُون، لِذلِكَ نَسْأَلُكُم ونُنَاشِدُكُم في الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ أَنْ تَسْتَزِيدُوا أَكْثَرَ فأَكْثَر. فإِنَّكُم تَعْلَمُونَ أَيَّ وَصَايَا ٱسْتَودَعْنَكُم بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوع. إِنَّ مشيئَةَ اللهِ هِيَ تَقْدِيسُكُم، أَيْ أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَنِ الفُجُور؛ وأَنْ يَعْرِفَ كُلُّ واحِدٍ مِنْكُم كَيْفَ يَصُونُ جَسَدَهُ في القَدَاسَةِ والكَرَامَة، لا في أَهْوَاءِ الشَّهْوَة، كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الأُمَمُ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْرِفُونَ الله؛ وأَلاَّ يتَعَدَّى أَحَدٌ عَلى أَخِيهِ ويَسْتَغِلَّهُ في هذَا الأَمْر، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعَاقِبُ عَلى كُلِّ هذِهِ الأُمُور، كَمَا سَبَقَ فَقُلْنَا لَكُم وَأَنْذَرْنَاكُم. فاللهُ مَا دعَانَا إِلى النَّجاسَة، بَلْ إِلى القَدَاسَة. إِذًا فَمَنْ يَحْتَقِرُ أَخَاهُ لا يَحْتَقِرُ إِنْسَانًا، بَلْ يَحْتَقِرُ اللهَ الَّذي يَمْنَحُكُم رُوحَهُ القُدُّوس.أَمَّا المَحَبَّةُ الأَخَوِيَّةُ فلا حَاجَةَ بِكُم إِلى أَنْ نَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُم في شَأْنِهَا، فأَنْتُم أَنْفُسُكُم تَعَلَّمْتُم مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا بِعْضُكُم بَعْضًا. وإِنَّكُم لَتَفْعَلُونَ ذلِكَ لِجَمِيعِ الإِخْوَةِ في مَقْدُونِيَةَ كُلِّهَا. فَنُنَاشِدُكُم، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَة، أَنْ تَسْتَزِيدُوا أَكْثَرَ فأَكْثَر، وأَنْ تَحرَصُوا على أَنْ تَلزَمُوا الهُدُوء، وتَهْتَمُّوا بأُمُورِكُمُ الْخَاصَّة، وتَعْمَلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُم، كَما أَوْصَيْنَاكُم، لِكَي تَسْلُكُوا سُلُوكًا كَرِيْمًا تُجَاهَ الَّذِينَ في خَارِجِ الجَمَاعَة، ولا يَكُونَ بِكُم حَاجَةٌ إِلى أَحَد”.

For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness. Therefore whoever rejects this rejects not human authority but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.
First Letter to the Thessalonians 04/01-12:”Finally, brothers and sisters, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that, as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God (as, in fact, you are doing), you should do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you knows how to control your own body in holiness and honour, not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one wrongs or exploits a brother or sister in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness. Therefore whoever rejects this rejects not human authority but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you. Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do love all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, beloved, to do so more and more, to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we directed you, so that you may behave properly towards outsiders and be dependent on no one.”

إِعْمَلُوا، لا لِلطَّعَامِ الفَانِي، بَلْ لِلطَّعَامِ البَاقِي لِحَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّة، ذَاكَ الَّذي يُعْطِيكُم إِيَّاهُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان، لأَنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ هُوَ الَّذي خَتَمَهُ اللهُ الآب».
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا06/من22حتى27/:”في الغَدِ، رَأَى الجَمْعُ الَّذي بَقِيَ عَلى الضَّفَّةِ الأُخْرَى مِنَ البَحْر، أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ سِوَى سَفِينَةٍ وَاحِدَة، وأَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ السَّفِينَةَ مَعَ تَلامِيذِهِ، بَلْ مَضَى التَّلامِيذُ وَحْدَهُم. وجَاءَتْ سُفُنٌ أُخْرَى مِنْ طَبَرَيَّة، إِلى قُرْبِ المَوْضِعِ الَّذي أَكَلُوا فِيهِ الخُبْزَ، بَعْدَ أَنْ شَكَرَ الرَّبّ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى الجَمْعُ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَيْسَ هُنَاك، ولا تَلامِيذُهُ، رَكِبُوا السُّفُن، وجَاؤُوا إِلى كَفَرْنَاحُومَ يَطْلُبُونَ يَسُوع. ولَمَّا وَجَدُوهُ عَلى الضَّفَّةِ المُقَابِلَة، قَالُوا لَهُ: «رَابِّي، مَتَى وَصَلْتَ إِلى هُنَا؟». أَجَابَهُم يَسُوعُ وقَال: «أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: أَنْتُم تَطْلُبُونِي، لا لأَنَّكُم رَأَيْتُمُ الآيَات، بَلْ لأَنَّكُم أَكَلْتُم مِنَ الخُبْزِ وشَبِعْتُم. إِعْمَلُوا، لا لِلطَّعَامِ الفَانِي، بَلْ لِلطَّعَامِ البَاقِي لِحَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّة، ذَاكَ الَّذي يُعْطِيكُم إِيَّاهُ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان، لأَنَّ ٱبْنَ الإِنْسَانِ هُوَ الَّذي خَتَمَهُ اللهُ الآب».

Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.’”
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 06/22-27:”The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the lake saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. Then some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when did you come here?’Jesus answered them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.’”
