ألحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ حَبَّةَ الحِنْطَة، إِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ في الأَرضِ وتَمُتْ، تَبْقَى وَاحِدَة. وإِنْ مَاتَتْ تَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ كَثِير
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا12/من20حتى28/:”كَانَ بَينَ الصَّاعِدِينَ لِيَسْجُدُوا في العِيد، بَعْضُ اليُونَانِيِّين. فَدَنَا هؤُلاءِ مِنْ فِيلِبُّسَ الَّذي مِنْ بَيْتَ صَيْدَا الجَلِيل، وسَأَلُوهُ قَائِلين: «يَا سَيِّد، نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَرَى يَسُوع».فَجَاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وقَالَ لأَنْدرَاوُس، وجَاءَ أَنْدرَاوُسُ وفِيلِبُّسُ وقَالا لِيَسُوع. فَأَجَابَهُمَا يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ حَانَتِ السَّاعَةُ لِكَي يُمَجَّدَ ٱبْنُ الإِنْسَان. أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنَّ حَبَّةَ الحِنْطَة، إِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ في الأَرضِ وتَمُتْ، تَبْقَى وَاحِدَة. وإِنْ مَاتَتْ تَأْتِي بِثَمَرٍ كَثِير. مَنْ يُحِبُّ نَفْسَهُ يَفْقِدُهَا، ومَنْ يُبْغِضُهَا في هذَا العَالَمِ يَحْفَظُهَا لِحَيَاةٍ أَبَدِيَّة. مَنْ يَخْدُمْنِي فَلْيَتْبَعْنِي. وحَيْثُ أَكُونُ أَنَا، فَهُنَاكَ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا خَادِمِي. مَنْ يَخْدُمْنِي يُكَرِّمْهُ الآب. نَفْسِي الآنَ مُضْطَرِبَة، فَمَاذَا أَقُول؟ يَا أَبَتِ، نَجِّنِي مِنْ هذِهِ السَّاعَة؟ ولكِنْ مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا بَلَغْتُ إِلى هذِهِ السَّاعَة! يَا أَبَتِ، مَجِّدِ ٱسْمَكَ». فَجَاءَ صَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَقُول: «قَدْ مَجَّدْتُ، وسَأُمَجِّد».

Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12/20-28/:”Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honour.
‘Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say “Father, save me from this hour”? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’”

إِن كُنتُم قَد مُتُّم مَعَ ٱلمَسيحِ عَن أَركانِ ٱلعالَمِ، فَلِمَ تَقبَلونَ أَن تُفرَضَ عَلَيكُم فَرائِضُ كَأَنَّكُم عائِشونَ في ٱلعالَم
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل قولسّي02/من12حتى20/:”يا إِخوَة، إِنَّ ٱلمَسيحَ حينَ كُنتُم أَمواتًا في ٱلزَّلاّتِ وَفي قَلَفِ جَسَدِكُم، أَحياكُم مَعَهُ، مُسامِحًا إِيّاكُم بِجَميعِ ٱلزَّلاّتِ، إِذ مَحا ٱلصَّكَّ ٱلَّذي عَلَينا بِموجَبِ ٱلأَقضِيَةِ، ٱلَّذي كانَ ضِدَّنا، وَقَد رَفَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلوَسَطِ وَسَمَّرَهُ عَلى ٱلصَّليبِ، وَإِذ خَلَعَ ٱلرِّئاساتِ وَٱلسَّلاطينَ شَهَّرَهُم جَهرًا، ظافِرًا عَلَيهِم في نَفسِهِ. فَلا يَحكُم إِذَن عَلَيكُم أَحَدٌ في مَأكولٍ أَو مَشروبٍ، أَو مِن قَبيلِ عيدٍ أَو رَأسِ شَهرٍ أَو سُبوت. فَهَذهِ ظِلُّ ٱلمُستَقبَلاتِ، أَمّا ٱلذّاتُ فَهِيَ ٱلمَسيح. لا يُخَيِّبُكُم أَحَدٌ مِن جِعالَتِكُم، راغِبًا في تَواضُعٍ وَعِبادَةٍ لِلمَلائِكَةِ، وَخائِضًا في أُمورٍ لَم يُبصِرها، وَمُنتَفِخًا عَبَثًا بِعَقلِهِ ٱلجَسَديِّ، غَيرَ مُتَمَسِّكٍ بِٱلرَأسِ، ٱلَّذي بِهِ كُلُّ ٱلجِّسمِ يَتَعاوَنُ وَيَتَلاءَمُ بِٱلمَفاصِلِ وَٱلمَواصِلِ، فَيَنمو نُمُوًّا بِحَسَبِ ٱلله. إِذَن إِن كُنتُم قَد مُتُّم مَعَ ٱلمَسيحِ عَن أَركانِ ٱلعالَمِ، فَلِمَ تَقبَلونَ أَن تُفرَضَ عَلَيكُم فَرائِضُ كَأَنَّكُم عائِشونَ في ٱلعالَم”؟

If you died with Christ to the elemental powers of the world, why do you submit to regulations as if you were still living in the world?
Saint Paul Letter to the Colossians/02/13-20/:” You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. And even when you were dead (in) transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he brought you to life along with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions; obliterating the bond against us, with its legal claims, which was opposed to us, he also removed it from our midst, nailing it to the cross; despoiling the principalities and the powers, he made a public spectacle of them, leading them away in triumph by it. Let no one, then, pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or sabbath. These are shadows of things to come; the reality belongs to Christ. Let no one disqualify you, delighting in self-abasement and worship of angels, taking his stand on visions, 9 inflated without reason by his fleshly mind, and not holding closely to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and bonds, achieves the growth that comes from God. If you died with Christ to the elemental powers of the world, why do you submit to regulations as if you were still living in the world?
