Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man/لا تَكْذِبُوا بَعضُكُم على بَعْض، لأَنَّكُم خَلَعْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ العَتِيقَ وأَعْمَالَهُ، ولَبِسْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ الجَديدَ
لا تَكْذِبُوا بَعضُكُم على بَعْض، لأَنَّكُم خَلَعْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ العَتِيقَ وأَعْمَالَهُ، ولَبِسْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ الجَديدَ الَّذي يتَجَدَّدُ لِيَبْلُغَ إِلى تَمَامِ المَعْرِفَةِ على صُورَةِ خَالِقِهِ
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل قولسّي03/من01حتى17/:”يا إخوَتِي، إِنْ كُنْتُم قَدْ قُمْتُم مَعَ المَسِيح، فَٱطْلُبُوا مَا هُوَ فَوق، حَيْثُ المَسِيحُ جَالِسٌ إِلى يَمِينِ الله. إِهْتَمُّوا بِمَا هُوَ فَوق، لا بِمَا هُوَ عَلى الأَرْض، فإِنَّكُم قَدْ مُتُّم، وحَيَاتُكُم مُسْتَتِرَةٌ معَ المَسِيحِ في الله. وعِنْدَمَا يَظْهَرُ المَسِيح، الَّذي هُوَ حَياتُنَا، فأَنْتُم أَيْضًا سَتَظْهَرُونَ مَعَهُ في المَجْد. فأَمِيتُوا إِذًا أَعْضَاءَكُمُ الأَرْضِيَّةَ السَّالِكَةَ في الفُجُور، والنَّجَاسَة، والأَهْوَاء، والشَّهْوَةِ الخَبِيثَة، والجَشَعِ الَّذي هُوَ عِبَادَةُ أَوْثَان، فَبِهَا يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبُ اللهِ على أَبْنَاءِ العُصْيَان؛ ومِنْهُم أَنتُم أَيْضًا قَدْ سَلَكْتُم مِنْ قَبْلُ، يَومَ كُنْتُم تَعِيشُونَ فِيهَا. أَمَّا الآنَ فٱنْبِذُوا أَنْتُم أَيْضًا تِلْكَ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا: أَلغَضَب، والسُّخْط، والسُّوء، والتَّجْدِيف، والكَلامَ البَذِيءَ مِن أَفْوَاهِكُم. لا تَكْذِبُوا بَعضُكُم على بَعْض، لأَنَّكُم خَلَعْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ العَتِيقَ وأَعْمَالَهُ، ولَبِسْتُمُ الإِنْسَانَ الجَديدَ الَّذي يتَجَدَّدُ لِيَبْلُغَ إِلى تَمَامِ المَعْرِفَةِ على صُورَةِ خَالِقِهِ. فلا يُونَانِيٌّ بَعْدُ ولا يَهُودِيّ، لا خِتَانَةٌ ولا عَدَمَ خِتَانَة، لا أَعْجَمِيٌّ ولا إِسْكُوتِيّ، لا عَبْدٌ ولا حُرّ، بَلِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ هُوَ الكُلُّ وفي الكُلّ. فَٱلْبَسُوا إِذًا كأَصْفِيَاءِ اللهِ القِدِّيسِينَ والمَحْبُوبِين، أَحْشَاءَ الرَّحْمَة، واللُّطْف، والتَّوَاضُع، والوَداعَة، والأَنَاة، مُحْتَمِلِينَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا، صَافِحِينَ بَعْضُكُم عَن بَعضٍ إِذا كانَ لأَحَدٍ شَكوَى على آخَر: فكَمَا صَفَحَ الرَّبُّ عَنْكُم هكَذا ٱصْفَحُوا أَنْتُم أَيْضًا. وفَوقَ هذِهِ كُلِّهَا، إِلْبَسُوا المَحبَّةَ الَّتي هيَ رِبَاطُ الكَمَال. وَلْيَمْلِكْ سَلامُ المَسِيحِ في قُلُوبِكُم، ذَاكَ السَّلامُ الَّذي إِلَيهِ دُعِيتُم في جَسَدٍ واحِد، وكُونُوا شَاكِرِين. لِتَحِلَّ فيكُم كَلِمَةُ المَسِيحِ بِمِلْءِ غِنَاهَا، وكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ ووَاعِظِينَ بَعضُكُم بَعْضًا بِمَزَامِيرَ وأَنَاشِيدَ وتَرَانِيمَ رُوحِيَّة، مُرَنِّمِينَ للهِ بِالنِّعْمَةِ في قُلُوبِكُم. فَكُلُّ مَا تَأْتُونَ مِن قَوْلٍ أَو فِعْل، فَلْيَكُنْ كُلُّ شَيءٍ بِٱسْمِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوع، شَاكِرِينَ بِهِ اللهَ الآب.
Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man
Colossians03/01-17/:” 1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory. Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. You also once walked in those, when you lived in them; but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator, where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 15/08-10/:”‘What woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
