لا أَحَدَ يَشْعَلُ سِرَاجًا، وَيُخْفيِهِ تَحْتَ وِعَاء، أَو يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِير، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلى مَنَارَة، لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّور/No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light

لا أَحَدَ يَشْعَلُ سِرَاجًا، وَيُخْفيِهِ تَحْتَ وِعَاء، أَو يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِير، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلى مَنَارَة، لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّور
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا(8/من16حتى21/:”قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوعُ : «لا أَحَدَ يَشْعَلُ سِرَاجًا، وَيُخْفيِهِ تَحْتَ وِعَاء، أَو يَضَعُهُ تَحْتَ سَرِير، بَلْ يَضَعُهُ عَلى مَنَارَة، لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّور. فَمَا مِنْ خَفِيٍّ إِلاَّ سَيُظْهَر، وَمَا مِنْ مَكْتُومٍ إِلاَّ سَيُعْلَمُ وَيُعْلَن. تَنَبَّهُوا إِذًا كَيْفَ تَسْمَعُون، لأَنَّ مَنْ لَهُ يُعْطَى، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ مَا يَظُنُّهُ لَهُ». وَأَقْبَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ وَإِخْوَتُهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْهِ بِسَبَبِ الجَمْع.وَأَخْبَرُوه: «إِنَّ أُمَّكَ وَإِخْوَتَكَ وَاقِفُونَ في الخَارِجِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَرَوْك».فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لَهُم: «إِنَّ أُمِّي وَإِخْوَتي هُمْ هؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِهَا».

No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 08/16-21/:”‘No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. Then pay attention to how you listen; for to those who have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away.’ Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’ But he said to them, ‘My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.’”

نَنْبِذُ الأَسَالِيبَ الخَفِيَّةَ المُخْجِلَة، ولا نَسْلُكُ طَرِيقَ المَكْر، ولا نُزَوِّرُ كَلِمَةَ ٱلله، بَلْ إِنَّنَا بإِظْهَارِ الحَقِّ نُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا تُجَاهَ ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَان، أَمَامَ ٱلله
رسالة القدّيس بولس الثانية إلى أهل قورنتس04/من01حتى06/:”يا إِخوَتِي، مَا دَامَتْ لَنَا هذِهِ الخِدْمَةُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ ٱلله، لا تَضْعُفُ عَزِيْمَتُنَا. ولكِنَّنَا نَنْبِذُ الأَسَالِيبَ الخَفِيَّةَ المُخْجِلَة، ولا نَسْلُكُ طَرِيقَ المَكْر، ولا نُزَوِّرُ كَلِمَةَ ٱلله، بَلْ إِنَّنَا بإِظْهَارِ الحَقِّ نُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا تُجَاهَ ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَان، أَمَامَ ٱلله. وإِنْ كَانَ إِنْجِيلُنَا لا يَزَالُ مَحْجُوبًا، فإِنَّمَا هوَ مَحْجُوبٌ عَنِ الهَالِكِين، غَيرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذينَ أَعْمَى إِلهُ هذَا العَالَمِ بَصَائِرَهُم، لِئَلاَّ يُبْصِرُوا ضِيَاءَ إِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ المَسِيح، الَّذي هُوَ صُورَةُ ٱلله. فَنَحْنُ لا نُبَشِّرُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا، بَلْ نُبَشِّرُ بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ رَبًّا، وبِأَنْفُسِنَا عَبِيدًا لَكُم مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوع؛ لأَنَّ ٱللهَ الَّذي قَال: «لِيُشْرِقْ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ نُور!»، هُوَ الَّذي أَشْرَقَ في قُلُوبِنَا، لِنَسْتَنِيرَ فَنَعْرِفَ مَجْدَ ٱللهِ المُتَجَلِّيَ في وَجْهِ المَسِيح.”

We refuse to practise cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God
Second Letter to the Corinthians 04/01-06/:’Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. We have renounced the shameful things that one hides; we refuse to practise cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
