لأَنَّنَا إِنْ شَارَكْنَاهُ حَقًّا في آلامِهِ، نَشَارِكُهُ أَيْضًا في مَجْدِهِ. وإِنِّي أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ آلامَ الوَقْتِ الحَاضِرِ لا تُوَازِي المَجْدَ الَّذي سَوْفَ يتَجَلَّى فينَا
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة08/من12حتى18/:”يا إخوَتِي، لا دَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا لِلجَسَد، فنَعِيشَ كأُنَاسٍ جَسَدِيِّين؛ لأَنَّكُم إِنْ عِشْتُم كأُنَاسٍ جَسَدِيِّينَ تَمُوتُون، أَمَّا إِنْ أَمَتُّم بِالرُّوحِ أَعْمَالَ الْجَسَدِ فَتَحْيَون؛ لأَنَّ الَّذينَ يَنْقَادُونَ لِرُوحِ اللهِ هُم أَبْنَاءُ الله. وأَنْتُم لَمْ تَنَالُوا رُوحَ العُبُودِيَّةِ لِتَعُودُوا إِلى الخَوف، بَلْ أَخَذْتُم رُوحَ التَّبَنِّي الَّذي بِهِ نَصْرُخُ: أَبَّا، أَيُّهَا الآب! وهذَا الرُّوحُ عَيْنُهُ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ أَرْوَاحِنَا أَنَّنَا أَولادُ الله. فإِنْ كُنَّا أَوْلادَ اللهِ فَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا وَارِثُون: وارِثُونَ للهِ وَمُشَارِكُونَ للمَسِيحِ في المِيراث؛ لأَنَّنَا إِنْ شَارَكْنَاهُ حَقًّا في آلامِهِ، نَشَارِكُهُ أَيْضًا في مَجْدِهِ. وإِنِّي أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ آلامَ الوَقْتِ الحَاضِرِ لا تُوَازِي المَجْدَ الَّذي سَوْفَ يتَجَلَّى فينَا.”
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 07/01-13/:”After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He did not wish to go about in Judea because the Jews were looking for an opportunity to kill him. Now the Jewish festival of Booths was near. So his brothers said to him, ‘Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing; for no one who wants to be widely known acts in secret. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.’ (For not even his brothers believed in him.) Jesus said to them, ‘My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its works are evil. Go to the festival yourselves. I am not going to this festival, for my time has not yet fully come.’ After saying this, he remained in Galilee. But after his brothers had gone to the festival, then he also went, not publicly but as it were in secret. The Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, ‘Where is he?’And there was considerable complaining about him among the crowds. While some were saying, ‘He is a good man’, others were saying, ‘No, he is deceiving the crowd.’Yet no one would speak openly about him for fear of the Jews.”
We suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
Letter to the Romans 08/12-18/:”We are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
