أَنَا جِئْتُ نُورًا إِلى العَالَم، لِكَي لا يَبْقَى في الظَّلامِ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ بِي/I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness

أَنَا جِئْتُ نُورًا إِلى العَالَم، لِكَي لا يَبْقَى في الظَّلامِ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ بِي
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا12/من44حتى47/:”قَالَ الرَبُّ يَسُوع: «مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِي فَمَا بِي يُؤْمِن، بَلْ بِمَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي. ومَنْ يَرَانِي يَرَى مَنْ أَرْسَلَنِي. أَنَا جِئْتُ نُورًا إِلى العَالَم، لِكَي لا يَبْقَى في الظَّلامِ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ بِي. فَمَنْ سَمِعَ أَقْوَالِي ولَمْ يَحْفَظْهَا، فَأَنَا لا أَدِينُهُ، لأَنِّي مَا جِئْتُ لأَدِينَ العَالَم، بَلْ لأُخَلِّصَ العَالَم.

I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12/44-47/:’Then Jesus cried aloud: ‘Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.”

بِالإِيْمَانِ رَاحَابُ البَغِيُّ لَمْ تَهْلِكْ مَعَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوا، لأَنَّهَا قَبِلَتِ الجَاسُوسَينِ بِسَلام
الرسالة إلى العبرانيّين11/من23حتى31/:”يا إخوَتِي، بِالإِيْمَانِ مُوسَى، لَمَّا وُلِدَ، أَخْفَاهُ أَبَواهُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْهُر، لأَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَا ٱلصَّبِيَّ جَمِيلاً، ولَمْ يَرْهَبَا أَمْرَ المَلِك. بِالإِيْمَانِ مُوسَى، لَمَّا كَبُرَ، أَبَى أَنْ يُدْعَى ٱبْنًا لٱبْنَةِ فِرْعَون، وٱخْتَارَ المَشَقَّةَ معَ شَعْبِ اللهِ على التَّمَتُّعِ الوَقْتِيِّ بِالْخَطِيئَة، حَاسِبًا عَارَ المَسِيحِ غِنًى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ كُنُوزِ مِصْر، لأَنَّهُ كانَ يَتَطَلَّعُ إِلى المُكافَأَة. بِالإِيْمَانِ تَرَكَ مِصْر، ولَمْ يَخْشَ غَضَبَ المَلِك، وثَبَتَ على عَزْمِهِ، كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى مَا لا يُرَى. بِالإِيْمَانِ صَنَعَ الفِصْحَ ورَشَّ الدَّمّ، لِئَلاَّ يَمَسَّهُم مُهْلِكُ الأَبْكَار. بِالإِيْمَانِ عَبَرَ بَنُو إِسْرائِيلَ البَحْرَ الأَحْمَر، كَمَا على أَرْضٍ يَابِسَة، ولَمَّا حَاوَلَ المِصْرِيُّونَ عُبُورَهُ غَرِقُوا. بِالإِيْمَانِ سَقَطَتْ أَسْوَارُ أَرِيْحَا، بَعْدَ الطَّوَافِ حَولَهَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّام. بِالإِيْمَانِ رَاحَابُ البَغِيُّ لَمْ تَهْلِكْ مَعَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوا، لأَنَّهَا قَبِلَتِ الجَاسُوسَينِ بِسَلام.”

By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace
Letter to the Hebrews 11/23-31/:”By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered abuse suffered for the Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger; for he persevered as though he saw him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.”
